Events, Activities, Useful Information on 28 October 2009 by Darina (1 comment)

Now, here’s a round up of where can you go with your kids on Halloween. If you have some more tips that we’ve missed out - please leave your tip in the comment section below for others.

Halloween is celebrated on October 31. It has roots in the Celtic festival of Samhain and the Christian holy day of All Saints´ Day. The day is often associated with the colors orange and black, and is strongly associated with symbols such as the Jack-o´-lantern. Halloween activities include trick or treating, wearing costumes, ghost tours, bonfires, costume parties. visiting haunted attractions, reading scary stories, and watching horror movies.

It’s worth noting that the Czech Republic observes All Soul’s Day, or Dušičky, on the second day of November (often mistakenly referred to as Czech Halloween). On this day, Czech families decorate tombstones as a tribute to the deceased. But a few days prior you’ll find that many of the city’s denizens – Czechs and foreigners alike – engage in the less-than-civilized acts of soaking themselves in witch’s brew and doing the ‘Thriller’ dance.
