Halloween is originally celebrated in countries like the United States of America, Canada, Ireland and the United Kingdom. But now it is also a popular holiday in other parts of the world, including Bonaire. Originally, Halloween is the day when people commemorate the dead; it coincides with All Saints' Day. But now Halloween has turned into a fun, but spooky, day for young and old alike. Small children go door-to-door in houses during Halloween for something sweet under the guise of 'Trick or Treat'. And for the older generations, all kinds of fun parties are organized on Bonaire during Halloween.
