When is Halloween 2031 in Germany?

Halloween originated from the ancient Celtic festival of Samhain, when people lit bonfires and wore costumes to ward off ghosts. Irish immigrants brought the tradition to America in the 19th century. Jack-o'-lanterns were originally carved from turnips in Ireland.

Children dress in costumes and go trick-or-treating for candy. Popular activities include carving pumpkins, visiting haunted houses, watching horror movies, and attending costume parties. Homes are decorated with spooky themes.

Halloween is always October 31st, the eve of All Saints' Day (November 1st) in the Christian calendar.
