At 5 p.m., rain or shine (NBC10 Boston meteorologist Pete Bouchard says the forecast for Halloween is improving), "Hocus Pocus" will be shown on the giant left-field videoboard. Fans can watch from inside the DCU Club or in outdoor seats.
Children can also walk the WooSox Loop and receive candy throughout the ballpark from WooSox staff members. Typically blue, the stadium will be festively dressed in seasonal decorations for all families to enjoy.
