What are some major celebrations to look forward to in October?
October has one federal holiday and a few traditional celebrations and observations that you can look forward to. Let’s have a look:
- Columbus Day: This day celebrates the arrival of Sir Christopher Columbus on America’s shores. Back in 1492, Columbus arrived on these shores, and soon after, settlements arrived too. The first ever Columbus Day celebration took place in 1792, and after a while, in 1971, the day gained the title of a US-recognized federal holiday. It is celebrated on the second Monday of October every year.
Other than this, October is famously known for Halloween – a time when kids dress up in costumes, go around the neighborhood “Trick or treating” collecting candies, and adults dress up in costumes and attend parties and decorate their houses in spooky style!
