Halloween traditions in the United States involve carving pumpkins and going trick-or-treating. Pumpkins became popular jack-o-lanterns in America as they are large and easy to carve. On Halloween, children go door-to-door collecting candy in pillowcases. Popular Halloween foods include candy corn, caramel apples, and pumpkin pie. Fall activities include visiting apple orchards, going on hayrides, and searching pumpkin patches for the perfect pumpkin to carve.
