Is Target Open on Halloween 2026?
Forgot the candy? Target's open on Halloween with normal Saturday hours. Here's the 2026 answer.
Summary
Target is open on Halloween 2026 (Saturday, October 31). Halloween is a normal business day at Target — the chain only closes for Thanksgiving and Christmas — so expect regular Saturday hours, typically 8:00 AM – 10:00 PM (some stores until 11:00 PM). Same-day services like Drive Up, Order Pickup, and Shipt delivery run normally. No official 2026 Halloween schedule has been published; these hours reflect Target's established pattern.
The single most important point
Halloween at Target is just a Saturday. Stores are open all day — and the website, Drive Up, and same-day delivery keep running normally too.

What are Target’s Halloween hours?
Target hasn't published a special 2026 Halloween schedule — Halloween is a normal business day, and Target only closes stores for Thanksgiving and Christmas Day.
On Saturday, October 31, 2026, expect regular Saturday hours: typically 8:00 AM – 10:00 PM, with some locations open until 11:00 PM. Same-day services — Drive Up, Order Pickup, and Shipt delivery — run on the normal schedule.
Costume hunters, one heads-up: popular sizes sell out in the final week, so an afternoon run beats an evening one. And Target's new Bridgehampton, NY store (opening October 11) plus seven other new fall locations will all be open for Halloween too.
