Pictured: Bell Gardens Halloween Carnival at Veterans Park

The weekend Halloween parties, carnivals and trick or treating don’t hold a candle (or bonfire) to Halloween Day celebrations (October 31) when kids & adults throughout California and the nation don their creepy, kooky and oh so spooky apparel. Should Oct.31 or the day after should be declared a national holiday so everyone can get needed rest after staying up late, and also detox from sugar highs that provide added challenges for teachers?

There’s so much going on in a single day that we’re having to break it down for you in segments of the alphabet…
