Halloween at the real Ghostbusters headquarters: the firehouse in Tribeca has been a gathering place for costumed fans and neighborhood visitors.
What to expect
Hook & Ladder 8 is the firehouse familiar from the Ghostbusters films. For fans, its red doors make a fitting backdrop for a Halloween visit. NYC Ghostbusters has previously listed a Halloween meetup here.
Past celebrations have included an Ecto-1, candy and visitors in costume, with the firehouse doors open. These are impressions from previous visits, rather than a guaranteed program for the next celebration. Seasonal Stay Puft decorations are separate from the Halloween-night meetup: seeing the display does not mean the car or activities will be there too.
Good to know
- Check the organizers’ current announcement before planning around the meetup; hours and activities can vary.
- Ecto-1 appearances, candy and access inside are not guaranteed.
- This is an operating firehouse. Please follow the firefighters’ instructions.
- Souvenirs are no longer sold at the firehouse. It’s unclear whether an exception will be made for Halloween.
