The inquiry into whether Halloween is observed in Colombia necessitates an examination of the nation’s cultural landscape and the adoption of foreign traditions. Celebrations with origins in the United States and other Western countries have increasingly found a place in Colombian society, coexisting alongside deeply rooted local customs.
The increasing globalization of media and cultural exchange has resulted in wider awareness of Halloween. While not a nationally recognized holiday with official observances, elements of Halloween, such as costume parties and trick-or-treating, are becoming more prevalent, particularly in urban areas and among younger generations. The extent of participation varies significantly across different regions and social strata.
