We’re excited to announce the return of the D23 Black Flame Ball during Salem, Massachusetts’ Quadricentennial (400 years) celebration! This year, special guest Doug Jones (Billy Butcherson in Hocus Pocus and Hocus Pocus 2) will be joining the spooktacular Halloween party—which includes live entertainment, food and drinks, and even an appearance by the Sanderson Sisters!
Before the nighttime festivities begin, your ticket will also include the chance to see all the magic Salem has to offer on a walking tour of the city with Black Cat Tours! In addition to the historic landmarks and treasures of this spellbinding city, attendees will walk in the footsteps (and pawsteps!) of Max, Dani, Allison, and Thackery Binx as Black Cat Tours guides all guests through the iconic filming locations from Hocus Pocus. Unless you have the means to soar above Salem via levitating cleaning supplies, there’s truly no better way to experience the city where all the magic began!
As the moon rises over this land of enchantment, the D23 Black Flame Ball begins with special guest Doug Jones! Reminiscent of the colorful Halloween Party seen in Hocus Pocus (1993), attendees are invited to arrive in their costumed-best—channeling their inner Sanderson, “Dad-cula,” or perhaps even a certain pop icon! All will then dance the night away with live music, food, libations, and entertainment that could only be summoned once every 300 years.
If you’re looking for more magical ways to celebrate the Quadricentennial in Salem, all are invited to a FREE outdoor screening of Hocus Pocus (1993) with D23 on Thursday, September 24, on the steps of Old Town Hall, in partnership with Creative Collective.
These events are sure to put a spell on all in attendance... The D23 Black Flame Ball will truly be one candlelit costumed confab you won’t want to miss. We ain’t lyin'!
