How to use the Halloween countdown
- The number at the top is the days left, counted from today.
- Read the weeks and the weekday and weekend rows to plan around work or school.
- To count down to another date, pick it in Count down to. Clear it to go back to the holiday.
Halloween by year
Halloween is fixed on 31 October; the weekday changes each year:
| Year | Halloween falls on |
|---|---|
| 2026 | Saturday |
| 2027 | Sunday |
| 2028 | Tuesday |
| 2029 | Wednesday |
| 2030 | Thursday |
Counting down
The number at the top is the days from today to 31 October, not counting today. Use the weeks note and the weekday and weekend rows to plan costumes, pumpkin carving and decorations. When Halloween falls midweek, many parties and events move to the weekend before, so check local dates.
After Halloween, the next big countdowns are Thanksgiving in the US and Christmas.
