Public-safety and accuracy reminders
Halloween falls on Saturday, October 31, 2026. Date-specific source calendars are linked above. Programs may move because of rain, public safety, organizer decisions, limited capacity or staffing. Check actual venue and ticket pages again immediately before leaving, and do not assume the hours of an earlier year’s event. Some cultural remembrance programs occur on Sunday, November 1 and should be described distinctly from Halloween. Use sidewalks, crosswalks and supervised treat routes.
