Ever wondered how an ancient Celtic festival evolved into a night of costumes, candy, and carved pumpkins? Join us for a spine-tingling Lunch & Learn as Erin Daniels takes us on a journey through the long and fascinating history of Halloween. From sacred bonfires and spirit lore to neighborhood trick-or-treating and candy industry booms, we’ll explore how this once solemn celebration became one of the most beloved (and commercialized) holidays of the year.
