Halloween traces its origins back to Samhain, an ancient Celtic festival.
People celebrate Halloween on a single day, but they refer to the extended celebration as “Halloweekend.
The term “Halloweekend” describes the weekend before and/or after Halloween when people celebrate Halloween and fall themed festivities.
Some of the various activities that occur around Halloweekend include costume parties, trick-or-treating, pumpkin picking, and haunted houses.
People can engage in community activities during Halloweekend. The Triangle features numerous places to celebrate the meaning of Halloween.
Panic Point is North Carolina’s Highest Rated Haunted Attraction. It includes five haunted houses along with a spooky hayride.
If haunted houses are too spooky for you, you could check out the fall festivities at Page Farms. They offer a corn maze, hayride, playground, cow train, farm animals, and more!
There are also several Trunk-or-Treat opportunities to attend in the Raleigh Area.
Students at Leesville are joining the fun by indulging in a variety of Halloweekend events.
“I’m going to a friend’s house, and we are going to get candy. It’ll be fun,” said Viren Sadhwani, sophomore.
Other students are celebrating Halloweekend differently.
“I’m going to Panic Point because I like to be scared,” said Saylor Matthews, junior.
Dressing up is a key part of Halloweekend, and despite some people’s opinions, everyone can enjoy wearing a costume, no matter their age.
“I’m being a Greek Goddess with my friends because I like gold, and I think it’ll be cute,” said Matthews.
Whether you’re dressing up and going to a costume party or going to a pumpkin patch, Halloweekend is a fun experience for everyone participating.
