Halloween dates back to the ancient Celtic festival of Samhain when people celebrated the change of season from summer to winter. People wore costumes and lit bonfires to fool the spirits and ghosts. Irish immigrants brought Halloween into the United States. It was one of the popular festivals in the Victorian Era. The tradition continued in the Edwardian era.
