UK Halloween - OT


Is the UK Halloween the same day as the US? Oct 31? That's a Sunday this year. Do you all go trick or treating on the day or on that Saturday. Around here we go out on the day (oct 31), but where my OH is from, they go trick or treating on the Saturday before Halloween.

I'm just curious

I always thought you go trick or treating on the actual night of halloween.. the 31st, no matter what day its on..

when we were kids we would sometimes go the day before too! see how many more goodies we could get lol

I don't think it's popular in the UK to go trick-or-treating at least not as popular as it is in North America

I hate trick and treating! I don't get it. It is begging and a money making scam. I dread 31 Oct and the knock on the door. I just ignore it.

But to answer your question trick and treating in the UK is on the night of 31 Oct.

When I was younger we always went out on Halloween (31st) but now we get kids coming around on the weekend closest to Halloween. I don't see the point in it being more than one day otherwise it will become corporate overkill I like Halloween too!
