The Halloween tradition dates all the way back to the 19th century when Christian Irish and British immigrants arrived in the USA and began celebrating Halloween. Since then, it has gained momentum and Halloween has gradually spread worldwide. The evening is typically spent in the company of family and friends, attending various Halloween parties where the focus is on costumes and decorating homes with Halloween decorations such as zombies, dolls, witches, and various spooky figures.

Halloween always falls on October 31st, symbolizing the transition from summer to winter.
