October is the 10th month of the year and the heart of autumn. Cool air, shifting colors, and cozy traditions shape the mood of the month, from harvest gatherings to the growing anticipation of Halloween.

More than 350 national and international observances take place throughout October, covering themes from pumpkin-centered foods to fire safety and mental health. Many events echo the spirit of fall—warm gatherings, gratitude for nature’s bounty, and a touch of seasonal spookiness that makes this month both comforting and thrilling.

In the United States, October also includes Columbus Day and Indigenous Peoples’ Day, two observances that invite reflection on the nation’s complex history and add depth to a month already rich in tradition and meaning.
