WHEN IS HALLOWEEN CELEBRATED IN 2026?

Every year, Halloween is celebrated on 31st of October around the world.


WHAT IS THE PURPOSE BEHIND CELEBRATING HALLOWEEN?

Two main theories explain the origins of Halloween. The first connects it to Samhain, an ancient Celtic festival. Celts believed this was when the veil between the real world and the spirit realm blurred, allowing spirits to pass through. Over time, this tradition intertwined with All Saints' Eve, a Christian tradition honoring loved ones who are not among us, creating the Halloween we know today.


WHAT ARE THE HALLOWEEN TRADITIONS IN CANADA?

Some of the Halloween traditions in Canada are carving pumpkins, also known as jack-o-lanterns, decorating your house with scary elements like skeletons and ghosts, dressing up in costumes and attending parties, watching scary movies, and going trick-or-treating as a ritual!


IS HALLOWEEN AN OFFICIAL HOLIDAY IN CANADA?

Canada does not have public holiday for Halloween. Businesses have normal opening hours and it is just another weekday!
