How the date of Halloween is set
Halloween is fixed on October 31, the evening before All Saints' Day on November 1. Its name is short for All Hallows' Eve.
Trick-or-treating and parties happen on the evening of October 31 itself, though when it falls on a weekday many parties are held on the weekend before.
Is Halloween a day off?
Halloween is widely celebrated in the US, Canada, Ireland and the UK, and increasingly elsewhere. It is not a public holiday in any of them.
November 1, All Saints' Day, is a public holiday in many Catholic countries, such as France, Spain, Italy, Poland and the Philippines.
Planning around it? The working days in the answer box count Monday to Friday only. Take out any public holidays in between, or use the date calculator to count from another date.

Frequently asked questions
What day of the week is Halloween 2026?
Halloween 2026 is on Saturday, October 31, 2026. In 2027 it falls on Sunday, October 31, 2027.
Is Halloween a day off?
No. Schools and offices stay open on October 31 in the US, UK, Canada and Ireland. In Ireland, the October bank holiday falls on the last Monday of October, which is close to Halloween.
What time does trick-or-treating start?
Usually around dusk on October 31. Some towns and cities set official trick-or-treat hours, so check your local council or city website.
Why does the live clock show one day less than the days count?
The days count is calendar days: tomorrow is 1 day away. The clock counts real time to midnight at the start of Halloween, so with Halloween two days away it shows 1 day and some hours. Both are right; they answer slightly different questions.
