Halloween in Croatia is a relatively recent cultural phenomenon that has gained popularity in the country over the past decade. While traditionally not a part of Croatian folklore or customs, Halloween has been embraced primarily as a fun and commercial holiday, especially by the younger generation. The celebration of Halloween in Croatia typically involves costume parties, themed decorations, and trick-or-treating, with children and adults dressing up in spooky or creative outfits. It has become an opportunity for people to enjoy the playful and imaginative aspects of the holiday, often with a focus on ghostly and supernatural themes. Despite its relatively recent introduction, Halloween in Croatia is now a recognised and eagerly anticipated event, contributing to the country's diverse cultural calendar.
