Costumes, sugar highs and questionable pumpkin carving. October 31 will be here sooner than you think.

October 31 does not move, so the only thing left to work out is the costume. 🎃 The date sits the night before All Saints' Day on November 1, and the older Gaelic festival of Samhain marked the same turn from harvest into winter.
Buying sweets early is like buying crisps for a party. Get them a week ahead and there is a real chance you will be back at the shop on the 31st.
- Trick or treating usually runs from dusk to about 8pm, so set a target time if you want the counter to hit zero when you leave the house.
- Pumpkins carved more than three or four days early tend to collapse. Count down to the carving, not just the night.
- Halloween falls on a Saturday in 2026, which tends to push parties to the same night rather than the weekend before. 👻

Questions people ask
Why is Halloween always October 31?
It is fixed to the night before All Saints' Day. Unlike Easter or Thanksgiving, it does not shift with the calendar.
Can I put this countdown on my own page?
Yes. The embed code below drops into any site that takes HTML, and it keeps the pumpkin background.
