Planning impact

In Germany, Halloween sits between Reformation Day, autumn breaks and All Saints' Day.

In Germany, Halloween, Reformation Day, All Saints' Day and autumn breaks need to stay separate: children's events, parties, transit, opening hours and quiet days depend on the federal state.

Family

Set children's timing

Trick-or-treating, school, getting home and bedtime depend strongly on whether 1 November is free.

Events

Check local events

Clubs, youth events, municipalities and city centres can have their own rules and times.

Public holidays

State decides

Reformation Day and All Saints' Day create very different calendar situations depending on the state.

Retail

Shop before the evening

Costumes, sweets and decorations belong in the days before, especially when public holidays or school breaks follow.
