Halloween is one of the most anticipated holidays in Canada. It&#8217;s a time for fun and adventure for kids and adults alike. For newcomers celebrating Halloween in Canada, discover more about trick or treating costumes, traditions, and safety tips to ensure a happy Halloween!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:25px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-what-is-the-origin-of-halloween-in-canada\"><strong>What is the Origin of Halloween in Canada?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:25px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Widely associated with haunted Halloween props and silly costumes, Halloween was first celebrated by the ancient Celts living in Ireland almost 2,000 years ago. Since then, Halloween has evolved to become the holiday we know and love today. Although Halloween is not a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.2026-pfc.reviewyoursite.ca\/blog\/after-you-arrive\/living-in-canada\/statutory-holidays-in-canada-guide-for-newcomers\/\">public holiday<\/a>, it is the second-largest commercial holiday that Canadian children and adults look forward to. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The ancient Celts believed that October 31 was the only time of year when spirits from the underworld could enter the world of the living. These spirits were believed to be unfriendly and could bring the living back to the underworld. Because of this, people started dressing as spirits on the night of October 31 so that returning spirits wouldn\u2019t harm them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Around the 1700s, Irish and Scottish immigrants brought Halloween to Canada and new elements such as carving jack-o&#8217;-lanterns and going door-to-door for treats. And over time, people started wearing funny and less scary Halloween costumes. Now, Halloween is a day to gather with family and friends for a fun time! <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"600\" height=\"400\" src=\"https:\/\/www.2026-pfc.reviewyoursite.ca\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/Halloween-in-Canada-Image-3.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-238808\" srcset=\"https:\/\/2024-rd-staging.nyc3.cdn.digitaloceanspaces.com\/2024-prepare-for-canada\/2024\/09\/16162209\/Halloween-in-Canada-Image-3.png 600w, https:\/\/2024-rd-staging.nyc3.cdn.digitaloceanspaces.com\/2024-prepare-for-canada\/2024\/09\/16162209\/Halloween-in-Canada-Image-3-300x200.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-when-is-halloween-in-canada\"><strong>When is Halloween in Canada?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:25px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>People in Canada celebrate Halloween on October 31.
