Target's Halloween range — decor, costumes, candy, and its popular seasonal home pieces — tends to show up online and in the app first, then fills store aisles through late summer.

The short answer

No confirmed 2026 dates yet. The recent pattern: Halloween items start appearing on Target.com and the Target app as early as July (some already on sale), with in-store seasonal sections building through August. The app is the quickest way to catch new arrivals and check local stock.
