About the October 2025 Calendar with Holidays

October arrives with a crispness in the air. The days continue to get shorter. Jack Frost will pay many of us a visit, and we just might see the first snowflakes of the season. Daily October Holidays 2025 big and small fill the calendar this month. There are October National holidays and International holidays. Every day, we get to celebrate several special, unique, or quirky fun days, too. Rather than pick a holiday each day to enjoy, why not celebrate them all? It will be loads of fun. So, load your August 2025 calendar with holidays big and small.

So, as we head towards the end of the month, things start to become eerie and more than a little scary and spooky. We enjoy the lead-up to one of the biggest and spookiest holidays of the year… Halloween!  Halloween has become more than just a day, it’s a whole season teeming with traditions and fun things to do.

The Halloween season leads up to the big night when kids dress up and go out Trick or Treating. But during the season, there are more seasonal holidays to enjoy like Frankenstein Friday, Mischief Night, Howl at the Moon Night, and more.

Special Events of Note

Early October brings the last of the outdoor festivals and events. They center around the apple harvest and of course pumpkins! Perhaps the most exciting is the Fall Pumpkins Weigh-offs. Often included in a fall festival, pumpkin weigh-offs put pumpkins on display. You can almost hear the thud as these behemoths, often weighing over a ton, are placed on the scales.

Find a pumpkin weigh-off near you

Then, at the very end of this month, Halloween arrives. Thus, join us in one of the biggest, and certainly scariest holiday celebrations of the year. Have a happy and scary Halloween at Pumpkin Nook.
