1:30pm: Performance by Stacey Peasley (South Garden, weather-permitting)
With a $4 donation to Horizons for Homeless Children, participants receive a trick-or-treat bag that provides access to trick-or-treating at more than 50 stores and restaurants at the Prudential Center, along with other fun family-friendly activities. Presenting sponsor, Star Market, will provide candy.
Trick-or-treat bags can be purchased at Prudential Center’s Customer Service Desk starting October 1, and at check-in stations located in Center Court and at the Boylston Street entrance starting at 9am the day of the event.
Parking for the day is $16. Parking passes can be picked up at PRU BOO check-in stations.
