Halloween is a foreign cultural manifestation that is taking place in Brazil, mainly in schools and in business. Initially introduced by English schools and little by little it is popularizing itself in the country. Today, not only the schools commemorate the date. The commemorations are carnivalization and for carnivalization we understand as a deviation of the cultural manifestation on the cultural fact, accordingly to the concept theorized by Bakhtin. Another important concept for this research is the multiculturalism and its relation with education. The goal of this paper is to analyze these concepts and its applicability to the reality manifested in a school atmosphere. The research makes use of this problem and sees how this carnivalization of the commemorations occurs according to the teachers' and students perceptions in a community typically paulistana and presents the hypothesis that these celebrations start with elements peculiar to the national culture and with the process of carnivalization of other cultures. For that reason we deal with carnivalization and multiculturalism concepts related with the education specifically in schools with a juvenile public.
