A Full October Calendar of Observances and Holidays in 2022

When you think of October, the images that instantly come to mind are typically ghouls, goblins, your annual family trip to the pumpkin patch and, of course, the celebration of Halloween. So while you get wrapped up in planning the best Halloween costume and enhancing your house with seriously spooky decorations you may miss out on all of the other wonderful holidays and observances that the month has to offer.

Not only are national and federal holidays observed in October, but some funny, light-hearted and lesser-known celebrations are observed as well. Seriously, have you ever heard of International Coffee Day? This year it falls on October 1. (As if we really needed another reason to make a Starbucks run.) Other fun days like Mean Girls Day, World Singing Day and National Magic Day, which fall on October 3, October 16 and October 31 respectively, will give you more reasons to celebrate. You can even start new traditions by binging the iconic teen film, planning a night of karaok with friends or trying out a few magic tricks.

There are also many days that recognize more serious issues, like depression screening, hospice care and trauma. These dates may encourage you to volunteer or spread awareness.

If you’re still curious about other holidays and observances that fall in October, check out our detailed list below.

Full October Calendar of Holidays and Observances in 2022

As September comes to an end, there’s no denying that fall is here — which means it’s the season of hot cider, chunky cardigans, and Hocus Pocus movie marathons. The month of October is about more than your Halloween costume, but that doesn’t mean you can’t spend a few days (or weeks!) brainstorming what to go as this year. October holidays include religious observances and cultural celebrations as well as national days dedicated to food and weeks meant to raise awareness.

The beginning of October will see Yom Kippur, the most important Jewish holiday that includes a fast and special religious service, as well as Mawlid Al-Nabi, the birthday of the Prophet Muhammad. There are also celebratory festivals including Diwali, where people across faiths come together to acknowledge the triumph of light over darkness with feasts, fireworks, and prayer.

Throughout the month, there are plenty of seasonal October holidays leading up to Halloween, including Pumpkin Day, Black Cat Day, Candy Corn Day, and Trick-or-Treat Day. You may be spending the month prepping Halloween crafts and memorizing spooky-themed trivia questions, but it’s important to recognize October as Breast Cancer Awareness Month and LGBT History Month. In fact, October 21 is National Mammography Day and October 11 is National Coming Out Day.

While you prepare your favorite Halloween treats and plant fall flowers in your front yard, keep in mind all of the wonderful and meaningful October holidays that the first full fall month has to offer. Grab your first (of many, we’re sure) pumpkin spice latte of the season, and read through this list of all the October holidays in 2022.
