How the date is worked out
Halloween is always 31 October, the evening before All Saints’ Day. Because the date is fixed, the weekday shifts by one each year, or two after a leap year.
Plan ahead
- Check local trick-or-treating hours, which vary by town.
- Buy costumes and decorations early for the best choice.
- If Halloween falls on a weekday, parties are often held on the nearest weekend.
