Halloween Countdown

Halloween dates, 2026 to 2031

When is Halloween? Dates through 2035

How the date is set

Halloween is October 31 every year.

Halloween is the evening before All Saints' Day (November 1). Its customs trace back to the Celtic festival of Samhain, which marked the end of the harvest season.

Good to know

• The name is a shortening of All Hallows' Eve.
• Jack-o'-lanterns were first carved from turnips in Ireland and Scotland; pumpkins came into use in North America.
• It is not a public holiday.

How this countdown counts

The timer runs to midnight at the start of Halloween in your own time zone. "Days until" counts calendar days, so tomorrow is always 1 day away. After the day has passed, the countdown moves on to next year by itself.
