Happy Halloween from HR Doctors LLC
Halloween was introduced to the United States by Irish and Scottish immigrants. In the 19th century, Halloween was more about tricks than treats, with pranksters causing harmless mischief, although some tricks went too far and inconvenienced locals.
Today, Halloween in the U.S. is a massive celebration with masquerade parties, children going door-to-door for trick-or-treating, and homes adorned with spooky decorations like skeletons and jack-o’-lanterns. The holiday also features unique costumes, haunted houses, ghost stories, and scary games. If you’re in the U.S. for Halloween, make sure to visit towns like Salem, Massachusetts, famous for its haunted history, or check out the elaborate home displays in neighborhoods that go all out for this eerie holiday.
The Village Halloween Parade in New York City is the largest Halloween event in the country, attracting over 2 million spectators and featuring more than 50,000 costumed revelers and giant puppets in 2016. It’s a spectacle worth experiencing for any traveler.
