The History of Halloween and Its Global Influence Halloween, celebrated on October 31, has a history that spans over 2,000 years, evolving from ancient pagan rituals to one of the most globally recognized holidays. Its roots lie in the Celtic festival of Samhain, which marked the end of the harvest season and the onset of winter, a time the Celts associated with death. Over the centuries, Halloween has transformed from a deeply spiritual and communal festival into a heavily commercialized event that influences culture, economics, and societal norms worldwide.
