Halloween – What is it?
The Origin of Halloween:
The holiday’s roots are in the ancient Celtic festival of Samhain, which marked the end of harvest and the beginning of winter and the thinning of the veil between the worlds.
Activities: Common activities include trick-or-treating, costume parties, pumpkin carving, telling stories, and watching horror films.
When: Halloween is celebrated every year on October 31st.
Halloween continues to grow in popularity in Australia, with major events like Luna Park’s Halloscream featuring scare mazes and themed attractions.
The holiday blends ancient Celtic harvest traditions and Christian customs with modern entertainment, leading to a vibrant mix of costumes, trick-or-treating, parties, and horror media.
Expect to see popular costumes like Art the Clown, reflecting a trend towards frightening yet stylish outfits.
For many, Halloween is an opportunity to build community, get out and interact with neighbors, and create fun experiences for children.
