In Ukraine, Halloween is celebrated every year on the night of October 31st. Children love dressing up as witches, ghosts, or favorite cartoon heroes, taking their pumpkins, and going door-to-door shouting “Trick or treat!” 🍬
Schools organize costume parades, spooky mask contests, and pumpkin carving competitions.

Young people enjoy club parties, night walks, or creative photo shoots. On the streets, you can meet vampires, black cats, and even zombies walking together and laughing. For many, it’s a night to become someone else — braver, brighter, and more mysterious. 🌕

But Ukrainians give Halloween their own special touch. In many cities, especially Lviv, Kyiv, and Odesa, the holiday is mixed with ancient folk beliefs — stories about house spirits, water nymphs, and vampires. That’s why our Halloween isn’t just a copy of the American one; it’s a mix of modern fun and deep Ukrainian mysticism. ✨

It’s the night when you can get a little scared and still believe in miracles. They say that on Halloween, the line between the world of the living and the dead becomes thinner. Maybe that’s why Ukrainians love it so much — because a bit of mystery has always lived in our hearts. 💫
