Trick or Treat!
With its origins in the Celtic festival of Samhain over 2,000 years ago, Halloween has evolved into a celebration characterized by child-friendly activities such as trick-or-treating, carving jack-o’-lanterns from pumpkins, and dressing up in costumes.
On behalf of the U.S. Census Bureau, we hope you have a Spooktacular Day!
