As with any other parts of the world, Halloween is celebrated with much pomp and glory in Canada as well. The festival signifies that night of the year when, as per the ancient Celtic beliefs, the dead and the deceased rise from their graves and mingle with the world of the living. The festival is celebrated on the 31st of October and is considered to have originated from the Celtic festival of Samhain and the Christian All Saints’ Day. The major activities during the festival are ‘trick-or-treat’, costume parties, visiting haunted attractions and so on. The many customs of the festival were introduced to the people of Canada by the Irish and the Scottish, who migrated to the region during different periods.
One very important aspect of Halloween celebrations in Canada comprises of decorating the homes, yards and garages. OMNI FLOWERS in Brampton arrange flowers in pumpkins for the house entrance or on table top. Some people even go to the extent of building life-sized replicas of caves and graveyards. Apart from this, people organize themed parties, like spooky animal party or alien costume party, on Halloween, which are equally enjoyed by both adults and kids. Some of the major activities in such parties inlcude reading horror books, playing amusing Halloween games and watching spine-thrilling terror stories. In Canada, Halloween is not a public holiday and people continue with their chores and routines in the daytime and have fun at night.
