The origin of Halloween dates back to the Celts who lived in Ireland, Scotland and Wales two thousand years ago. Halloween, which has become widespread in the United States with many European immigrants, is celebrated as one of America's most popular events. Halloween continues to spread to other countries and being celebrated in a popular way through cinema, literature, mass media, social media and especially Youtube. Halloween celebrations are becoming increasingly common in the world and in Turkey under the name of modernization, Western rituals are being replaced by traditional rituals, which serve cultural imperialism. 13 kindergartens were selected among 66 private kindergartens of the Ministry of National Education in Beykent district of Büyükçekmece district of Istanbul by random sampling method and interviews were made with the authorities of these kindergartens in this study. The standardized open-ended interview form, developed by the researcher, was used as the data collection tool in the study and the research took its final form after receiving expert opinions. In this article, the spread of Halloween celebrations was emphasized and their approaches to cultural values were examined in the context of cultural imperialism considering the purposes of celebrating Halloween in kindergartens. At the end of the research, it was determined that the celebrations were made with the purpose of ensuring that the students know other foreign cultures, entertainment, meeting the expectations of parents and children, and these celebrations showed similarities with the celebrations in the USA with some differences in terms of activities.
