It is celebrated at the evening time. It belongs to the Christian traditions and to the old Celtic culture. That day is the famous holiday in the specific regions which celebrate it.
In the Christianity it is considered that at 1st November it starts All Saints day. So before the start of this day there is Halloween evening on the 31st of October. The Celts believe that on this day the wall between the livings and the dead. And they believe that the spirits can walk to the earth. So in order to ward off the spirits they wear different costumes. On the other hand as we all know that the summer seasons ends in the October and the winter season starts after this. So at the end of the summer season it is celebrated. In this way winter season is welcome.

Hello @akmalshakir, very interesting your publication of Halloween, in my country it is very rare places where they celebrate it, at least in the capital which is where I live.
Yes there are some towns and cities where the celebration is more notable, but not here, so I do not have much knowledge, only that night many people dress up and dance until dawn.
I loved reading your publication and learning a little more.
Yes people wear different costumes and enjoy it while warding off the spirits. Thanks for stopping by here.
