Halloween

The festival has been around for many years and is still going strong. Every year on 31 October, a special Halloween atmosphere takes over the streets and homes. 

But what is the origin of Halloween?

The origin of Halloween dates back thousands of years and has deep roots in Celtic traditions, specifically in the festival of Samhain. Samhain, pronounced "Sow-in," was an important celebration for the Celts, an ancient people living primarily in Ireland, the United Kingdom, and northern France. This festival marked the end of the harvest season and the beginning of winter, a time often associated with death and spirits. To protect themselves and appease these spirits, the Celts lit fires, dressed up, and shared food. The name "Halloween" appeared later, and the celebration evolved in the United States, giving rise to terrifying parties. That's why today, we dress up, share candy, and go door-to-door. Grab your best costume – one that's both beautiful and scary – and stroll through the streets of your town or village in search of sweets. Escape the tricks of other monsters and have a wonderful Halloween evening. Don't forget our "Trick or Treat" accessories such as buckets, bags, or candy pouches, as well as headbands and temporary tattoos to complete your costume. Be creative and keep the legend of October 31st alive for an unforgettable Halloween night.

When we think of Halloween, we think of a spooky, macabre, and mysterious evening. A movie night with a horror film among friends, a visit to an amusement park, going door-to-door to collect candy, celebrating with family, or telling scary stories... Just a few ideas to have a wild time!
