I'm from an area where we have a specific night of the year called "Devil's night". Easily googlable, but it's interesting that I didn't realize that few other areas seem to call it that from what I can tell?

That doesn't narrow it down much - sounds like you are in one of:

  • Alsace (Saint Maurice)
  • Bohol, Philippines (Baclayon)
  • Bratislava (the cathedral)
  • Carpeneto (San Giorgio)
  • Cingoli (San Domenico)
  • Derbyshire (St Swithin's)
  • Gothenburg (Nödinge)
  • Hasselt (Virga Jesse)
  • Lillehammer (Fåberg)
  • Malta (St Anthony of Padua)
  • Racconigi (Santa Maria Maggiore)
  • Žďár nad Sázavou (Saint John of Nepomuk)

I'm going to guess Holmesfield?
