About Halloween

Halloween is a widely celebrated cultural event in the United States, marked by customs like trick-or-treating, wearing elaborate costumes, and decorating homes. Its origins are linked to the ancient Celtic festival of Samhain, which evolved into a modern evening of community festivities. Although it is not a federal public holiday, it is observed extensively across the country.
