Holiday countdown

How long until Halloween?

This page loads a live countdown to the next Halloween (October 31) at midnight local time — handy for costume deadlines, party planning, or classroom fun.

After Oct 31, the target becomes next year’s Halloween. Browse other holiday countdowns below or set any date on the main countdown tool.

When is Halloween?

Halloween is October 31 every year. This countdown ends at midnight local time when October 31 begins — flip to a custom evening time on the hub if you prefer dusk.

Halloween traditions

Costumes, trick-or-treating, carved pumpkins, haunted houses, and themed parties dominate the night. Schools and offices often celebrate the week before with orange-and-black décor.

Why a Halloween countdown page
