The hunt for Halloween candy begins with Halloween with the Hooks, set for Thursday, October 29 at Whataburger Field.

The family event, presented by H-E-B, is from 5:30 to 8:30 pm. Children 17-and-under are to be admitted FREE, while adult admission is $5 per adult. Proceeds benefit Hooks Help and the Coastal Bend Food Bank. Guests are encouraged to bring non-perishable food items to donate as collection boxes will be staged at Whataburger Field’s main gates.

In addition to trick-or-treat candy stops around the ballpark, carnival games and a pumpkin patch “photo BOOth,” the festivities feature a 6:30 pm costume contest, with prizes for the top three contestants. A Halloween themed movie will also be played on the video board for families to enjoy.

Traditional ballpark food and beverages will be available for purchase. Pets are not allowed.

Companies wishing to participate by hosting a booth, free of charge, may contact Maggie via email ([email protected]) or by phone at 361-561-4676.
