Halloween takes place on October 31st. A lot of people have adopted this date in a big way, especially Americans and Canadians.
The tradition of Halloween comes from the ancient Celtic festival of Samhain /saũ.ən/ around two thousand years ago. Samhain was the Celtic New Year and it was originally celebrated on November 1st. The Celts originated in Central Europe, then migrated to Ireland, Wales, Scotland, and some other regions.
