What are CVS’s Halloween hours?
CVS hasn't published a special 2026 Halloween schedule — because Halloween is a normal business day at CVS. Many locations are open 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, so October 31 is business as usual.
Non-24-hour stores typically run 8:00 AM – 10:00 PM on Saturdays. The one thing to double-check: pharmacy counters often close earlier than the front of the store — on any Saturday, including Halloween.
For last-minute Halloween needs — candy, face paint, batteries, bandages for a costume mishap — a 24-hour CVS is the most reliable option in the country on October 31. Use the store locator to find one near you.
