How do people in Europe celebrate Halloween?

Answer 1

In the Netherlands (and probably other parts of Europe) children celebrate 'St. Martin' on November 11. Children go from door to door and receive treats. They may carry lights. They also will sing a St. Martin song: it begins (translated) "November 11 is the day that my light may shine".

Answer 2

Answer 3

Ireland and Scotland both take queues from the pagan festival of Samhain. The children dress up as creatures of the underworld (goblins, witches, demons, etc) and enjoy bonfires, fireworks displays, and the like.
