Halloween sunset in 10 cities
“Light until” is the end of civil twilight, when the Sun is 6° below the horizon: after that you need a flashlight. “Fully dark” is the end of nautical twilight (12° below).

The clocks change that night
Halloween 2026 is the last evening of daylight saving time. At 2:00 a.m. on Sunday, Nov 1, clocks go back to 1:00 a.m. (NIST (opens in a new tab)), so Sunday's sunset comes about an hour earlier on the clock. Arizona (except the Navajo Nation), Hawaii and the territories don't change clocks, so their Sunday sunset is a minute earlier, not an hour.
Times are for the center of a ZIP code and a flat horizon. Under trees or between tall buildings it gets dark sooner, so bring a light. Want the full picture for your ZIP, including the earliest sunset of the winter? See your sunset.
