Halloween in NYC

What did you do for Halloween?

Halloween in the US is a celebration for people of all ages!  Typical activities include trick or treating, pumpkin carving, and haunted houses.

Last week at Coffee Hour, we discussed different traditions around the world and watched clips from horror films.  Did you know that the tradition of Halloween has roots in the Gaelic ritual of Samhain?  A big thank you to the International Student Club for hosting this discussion!

So what did you do or learn this Halloween?  Hopefully some of you went to the Village Halloween Parade.  It is definitely a unique New York tradition that should not be missed!
