Trick Or Treat Dates & Times In West Michigan
Halloween’s origins come from the Celtic festival for the dead called Samhain. Celts believed the ghosts of the dead roamed the Earth on this holiday. People would leave “treats” at front doors and would dress in costumes to appease the roaming spirits.
Move that tradition across the Atlantic Ocean, fast-forward a couple or a hundred years and we have modern day trick-or-treating. Halloween has become the second-largest commercial holiday in America, behind Christmas.
Buy your candy, carve your pumpkins and be ready for ghosts, goblins, witches and devils.
