Halloween is celebrated similarly in Ireland and America, with children dressing up in costumes to trick-or-treat around their neighborhoods for candy. In Ireland, one tradition is "Knock-a-dolly," where children knock on neighbors' doors and run away when they open. Most Irish people attend parties with family and friends on Halloween, while bonfires are also lit in rural areas to carry on an old Celtic tradition.
