This year, forget Ghostbusters Day, everyone. It was Ghostbusters WEEKEND!
Starting with a classic party thrown by the Yes Have Some crew at Rodney’s (named after Rodney Dangerfield), Friday night was the official start of what turned into a full weekend worth of Ghostbusters awesomeness. Yes Have Some had a live studio audience show where they did a Q&A with McKenna Grace and Eric Reich to the lucky few who purchased the VIP tickets (which, in true YHS fashion came with the perks of exclusive merch and a few other bonuses).
At Hook and Ladder No. 8, the party began early in the morning with a crowd gathered in front of the firehouse, bands playing, and Jason Reitman, McKenna Grace, and Carrie Coon arriving in an Ecto-1 to a roaring crowd.
At the event, Jason Reitman unveiled the Ghostbusters Give Back program, an official way for fan groups to be recognized for the charity work they are doing. Teams can sign up at Ghostbusters.com and, based upon their merits, will receive patches for their group to place on their uniforms.
Hasbro unveiled a new full-sized 1984 Proton Pack and and Ecto-Glow Ecto-1 in the Real Ghostbusters style. Presumably to coincide with the Ecto-Glow figures being re-released as exclusives at San Diego Comic-Con 2025. Also announced was a new set of 6-inch action figures of the original 1984 Ghostbusters as seen in their rooftop showdown with Gozer.
