What it is

Halloween means costumes, trick-or-treating and carved pumpkins. When October 31 falls on a weeknight, some towns move trick-or-treat hours or hold parties the weekend before.

Is it a day off?

It is not a holiday. Schools, offices, banks and markets are open.

History

Halloween grew out of the Celtic festival of Samhain and All Hallows' Eve, and Irish and Scottish immigrants brought many of its customs to America in the 1800s.
