Event Offerings

Our group loves to build stuff - and we LOVE to show it off! Every event we go to, members bring their packs, games, props, memorabilia, and anything else they can find to make our appearances awesome. Below is a sample of things you might see at our events. On any given day, who knows what you’ll find!

  • Group of people in beige and black uniform posing indoors in front of facade resembling a fire station with a sign that reads '8 Hook & Ladder 8,' two windows above.

    Ghostbusters

    What would an event be without suited up Ghostbusters ready for action? It goes without saying, but every event is staffed with several fully uniformed ‘busters.

  • A display booth with a theme inspired by the Ghostbusters franchise, featuring a building facade with a red garage door, a sign that reads '8-Hook & Ladder 8,' and various Ghostbusters merchandise and equipment, including proton packs and a ghost trap, at an indoor convention or exhibit.

    Full Firehouse Setup

    In 2024, we built our very own Hook & Ladder firehouse! This set is approximately 10’x8’, and 12’ tall. 20’×10’ minimum floor space required.

  • Four people dressed as Ghostbusters characters, one of whom is wearing a costume with a proton pack, and a person in a green Kermit the Frog costume holding a giant pretzel, standing in front of a firehouse display.

    Small Firehouse Setup

    Our firehouse is designed to break down to a 10’ wide backwall. Perfect for smaller shows with lower ceilings.

  • Spook Central

    Our very own parade float, with mechanized Stay Puft peeking over the top! Great for parade appearances and outdoor events like drive-in movies.

  • A group of people dressed as Ghostbusters participating in a parade or event on a city street, holding a large banner with the Ghostbusters logo and text, with spectators and buildings nearby.

    Parades

    It’s been a tradition for 15+ years to march in the Southie St. Patrick’s Day Parade in Boston. We often march in other town parades as well!

  • Clear plastic cup filled with a green liquid, placed on a brown table, with a blurred background showing some flyers and part of a person.

    Slime Lab

    What kid doesn’t want to make their own ectoplasm? We offer a fun, low-mess (really!) way to create your own custom slime. Complete with sealable takeaway container and fun charm.

  • A green dragon sculpture with yellow eyes and sharp teeth is displayed in front of a building with a sign that reads '& LADER 8' with a star symbol.

    Full Size Slimer

    Every firehouse needs a spook, so we built our own 3D printed Slimer to haunt our headquarters and pose for photos! Built and hand painted by our group, he is the first of our own ghouls. More to come!

  • An exhibit display shows a scientific or technological device, possibly a rocket or spacecraft engine, with a sign that reads 'Hand-built Proton Packs! Ask us how.' The setting appears to be a science or technology exhibition with informational signs.

    Tools of the Trade

    Every Ghostbuster comes with their own personal array of equipment, most of it hand built or customized by their ‘buster. Get an up-close look at these professional quality props - you might even get to wear one for a photo!

  • A red fire alarm control panel with two reset stations on a wall next to a brick wall inside a building.

    Containment Unit

    When the light is green, the trap is clean! No Ghostbusters Firehouse is complete without a good Containment Unit. Our unit is available for photos. To help us keep the ghosts inside, please do not touch this exhibit.

  • A table with Ghostbusters-themed toys and raffle prizes, including slime characters, keychains, and other merchandise, with a trash can in the background and a sign about pancreatic cancer awareness.

    Raffles

    A great fundraiser, our raffles offer chances to win a bundle of Ghostbusters goodies. Items have included toys, apparel, collectibles, and even Lego sets.

  • A person playing a Ghostbusters-themed pinball machine in a garage with wooden shelves, a window, and a parked vehicle outside.

    Ghostbusters Arcade

    Play with a friend or team up with a Ghostbuster to test your skill with our Ghostbusters Arcade Game.

  • A collection of Ghostbusters-themed stickers, buttons, and patches featuring the ghost symbol, the Ecto-1 vehicle, and humorous phrases like 'Yes, have some' and 'Cool SLIME!'. Some items are packaged in plastic.

    Merchandise

    Another great fundraiser and crowd pleaser, we have lots of fun custom swag!

  • A cutout of the Ghostbusters logo featuring a cartoon ghost with a surprised expression and crossed out by a red circle with a slash. The ghost is depicted in the shape of the map of the United States colored in green, with the bottom of the sign displaying the word 'GHOSTBUSTERS'.

    Ghostbusters Training

    The junior Ghostbusters that visit us can practice their skills. Slimer has volunteered to help as trainees blast a Nerf blaster to hit the targets. This is another custom, Massachusetts Ghostbusters exclusive exhibit.
