Halloween at Pierce College

July 7, 2026

Every year, Halloween gets bigger and bigger. This year, the Pioneer decided to explore and share the Halloween culture of the Pierce community. From the sports team to the international office, everyone was making plans and celebrating the spooky day.

It’s easy for Americans to view Halloween through the lenses of their culture. Widely celebrated across the nation, the spirit of the holiday often takes root as soon as October hits.

But for international students in college, Halloween can be something foreign and exciting; a way for those not from America to take part in its culture and festivities. And at Pierce College’s Halloween Dance Party, the international students were given the opportunity to truly feel the Halloween Spirit.
