About Halloween
- Halloween is the eve of All Saints’ Day, November 1: its name comes from “All Hallows’ Eve”.
- Its traditions go back to Samhain, the Gaelic festival at the end of the harvest, when the boundary with the world of spirits was said to be thin.
- The first jack-o’-lanterns were carved from turnips in Ireland and Scotland. In North America, pumpkins took over.
- In Mexico, Halloween runs into the Day of the Dead on November 1 and 2. In Brazil, some cities and states mark October 31 as Dia do Saci, after a character of Brazilian folklore.

How the countdown works
- The countdown starts as soon as the page opens, and counts to midnight at the start of October 31 on your device’s clock, in your time zone.
- On the day itself it says so, and from the next day it counts to the following year’s date.
- The table shows the date in the coming years. For any other date, use the countdown to a date.
Questions
Is Halloween always on October 31?
Yes. Only the day of the week changes, which the table shows for the coming years. Parties and trick-or-treating are often on the weekend before when it falls midweek.
Is Halloween a public holiday?
No, not in the United States, Spain, Mexico or Brazil. November 1, All Saints’ Day, is a public holiday in Spain.
When does the Halloween countdown reach zero?
At midnight at the start of October 31 on your device’s clock. Trick-or-treating starts in the evening, so you’ll have the whole day to get ready.
