Halloween Australia : October 31

Halloween in Australia is an annual celebration occurring on October 31. The word Halloween is a contraction of All Hallows Eve, which refers to the evening before All Hallows Day or All Saints. In many countries the day before All Saints (November 1) is the day of All Death, when people visit the graves of their loved ones who have passed away.

On the evening of Halloween many children in Australia dress up in Halloween costumes playing “trick or treat” in their neighbourhood. Other popular Halloween activities in Australia include costumed parties and pumpkin carving.
