RESIDENT CALENDAR OF EVENTS . SO MANY WAYS TO HAVE FUN IN OUR COMMUNITY .
Halloween is a holiday celebrated each year on October 31 , and Halloween 2021 will occur on Sunday , October 31 .
The tradition originated with the ancient Celtic festival of Samhain , when people would light bonfires and wear costumes to ward off ghosts .
In the eighth century , Pope Gregory III designated November 1 as a time to honor all saints . Soon , All Saints Day incorporated some of the traditions of Samhain . The evening before was known as All Hallows Eve , and later Halloween .
Over time , Halloween evolved into a day of activities like trick-ortreating , carving jack-olanterns , festive gatherings , donning costumes and eating treats .
This day marked the end of summer and the harvest and the beginning of the dark , cold winter
