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.
Set children's timing
Trick-or-treating, school, getting home and bedtime depend strongly on whether 1 November is free.
Check local events
Clubs, youth events, municipalities and city centres can have their own rules and times.
State decides
Reformation Day and All Saints' Day create very different calendar situations depending on the state.
Shop before the evening
Costumes, sweets and decorations belong in the days before, especially when public holidays or school breaks follow.
