Hi Cris! I don't know if Jordi meant Halloween or he was trying to say our Carnival. In American English a 'carnival' is like a fair with rides and so on, and in British English the only carnival they know about is the one celebrated in Notting Hill in August (!), so maybe he used 'Halloween' to try and translate it. In the US you wear the fancy dress you like on Halloween, not necessarily scary dresses as we might think here. Halloween would be the equivalent to our 'Carnaval' as for wearing a fancy dress. I don't know if this might help to solve your doubt !? See you tomorrow!
