What’s a Boo Bag?
Think of it as Halloween’s cooler, sneakier cousin. Instead of a trick-or-treater ringing your doorbell and yelling for candy, a stealthy Halloween ninja drops a bag of goodies on your porch, rings the bell, and vanishes faster than you can say “Pumpkin Spice Latte.”
New for 2025: We are uniting Rochester and will have goodies from all over town, from east to west, we are one Rochester
Inside, you might find candy, toys, coupons, or maybe even that fake spider from last year that you swore you’d throw away. It’s all about spreading spooky joy — and confusing your neighbors just enough to make it fun.
How It Works
Step 1:
Receive your Boo Bag. Resist the urge to immediately eat all the Candy’s. Fail.
Step 2:
Hang the “We’ve Been Boo’d” sign on your door like you’ve just been knighted into the Halloween Hall of Fame.
Step 3:
Make two Boo Bags of your own. Fill them with goodies, then sneak them to neighbors who haven’t been Boo’d yet. Wear dark clothes. Avoid motion-sensor lights. Feel like a secret agent. FREE pintables! here are some ideas as well to make your own boo bags and baskets here
150+ Boo Bags Going Out!
This year, we’re kicking off the fun by delivering 150+ Boo Bags across the Rochester West Side and East Side Area, starting October 6th. That’s 150+ moments of pure, candy-fueled joy — and the ripple effect of Boo-it-Forward could easily hit 1,000+ households.
