I don't know about anywhere else, but in New York City, every day is Halloween.
Isn't that the truth!!! I worked in Manhattan for more than 20 years. During one mini depression, I watched folks bathe in a fountain on 6th Avenue. There was a homeless woman who pushed a shopping cart filled with her belongings and had a dog tied to the cart. When she died, they went through her personal possessions and found a bankbook with $60,000! In New York City, there is a school for professional beggars. Truly, in New York City, everyday is Halloween.
That's one thing about NYC: if you don't have credentials, nobody trusts you.
"Sorry, I only give money to degreed beggars..."
