When is Halloween 2024?

Halloween is one of the most anticipated holidays of the year, filled with excitement, creativity, and of course, lots of delicious food and treats.

Halloween will fall on Thursday, October 31, 2024. The holiday has its roots in the Celtic festival of Samhain, when people believed the line between the living and the dead was at its thinnest. Today, Halloween is celebrated with costumes, home decorations, and fun activities like trick-or-treating. Plan your festivities in advance to make the most of this exciting holiday.
