<holidayfyi-glossary slug="halloween-term"></holidayfyi-glossary>An annual celebration on October 31, rooted in the ancient Celtic festival of Samhain, which marked the end of summer and the harvest and the beginning of the darker half of the year. Modern Halloween features costumes, trick-or-treating, jack-o-lanterns, and horror-themed entertainment. It has grown from a primarily American and Irish tradition into a global commercial phenomenon observed in dozens of countries.
