It may feel like summer, but Halloween is only a few weeks away. Time to start planning on how to transform into someone (or something) else for Halloween.
The tradition dates back to Celtic Samhain festivals, when disguises were worn to ward off spirits. Today it’s less about ghosts and more about fun, creativity and community. From toddlers in pumpkin suits to elaborate group themes, costumes let us play, laugh and escape. In fact, Americans spend billions each year on Halloween costumes for kids, adults and even pets.
Dream big, plan early and let your imagination haunt happily this Halloween.
