This has been gaining steam over the last few years, and there are strong opinions on both sides: Should we change Halloween so it always falls on the last Saturday in October?
It would make trick-or-treating easier, especially for parents. And we already do it with other holidays. Thanksgiving is always the third Thursday in November. And Memorial Day is the last Monday in May.
The main argument against it is it's always been the 31st. So why change now?
Back in 2018, the Halloween & Costume Association launched a Change.org petition to make it happen. It's racked up over 150,000 signatures since then, so a lot of people are into the idea. But there's no actual plan in the works to do it.
If we did make Halloween the last Saturday in October, it would fall on the 28th this year . . . the 26th next year . . . and the 25th in 2025.
Assuming we don't make a change, the next time it falls on a Saturday is in 2026. And you better soak it in that year. It won't happen again until 2037.
