What Exactly Is Case’s Halloween Experience?
There are Halloween parties.
There are trick-or-treat events.
And then there’s Case’s Halloween Experience, where 2,000 people, a herd of costumed kids, a few ponies, inflatable games, free hot dogs, dozens of community organizations and one former Major League Baseball player in a questionable costume all descend on Casey’s Clubhouse for two hours of Halloween chaos.
And we wouldn’t have it any other way.
On Saturday, October 24, from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m., Casey’s Clubhouse Stadium transforms into one giant Halloween party. The event is completely free and open to the entire community.
The goal is pretty simple: show up in costume, have fun and experience Halloween the Casey’s Clubhouse way.
First Things First: What Is Sean Wearing?
This has become one of the great mysteries of October.
What will Sean Casey dress up as?
We genuinely never know.
Sean has already gone full Yellowstone as Rip Wheeler. Then he and his wife, Sarah, took on pop culture as Travis Kelce and Taylor Swift.
So where exactly do you go from there?
That's the fun part.
Sean has never been one to quietly blend into the background, and Halloween is no exception. Whatever he comes up with this year, there is a pretty good chance he'll fully commit to the bit.
Case the Buffalo will be roaming around too, taking pictures, handing out high-fives and probably wondering why Sean gets a new costume every year while he's stuck wearing the same buffalo suit.

And they're only part of the fun.
There Is A LOT Going On
When we call it an "Experience," we mean it.
You might start by grabbing a trick-or-treat bag and making your way through dozens of decorated trick-or-treat booths.
Then somebody hears music.
Now you're at the DJ dance party.
Five minutes later, your kid has spotted the petting zoo and pony rides, so you're headed in that direction.
On the way, you pass the inflatable games, which means the pony has temporarily been
forgotten.
Then someone wants an airbrush tattoo. Someone else wants their face painted. Another kid has disappeared into The Clubhouse playground with their friends.
Eventually, everybody remembers the pony.
Somewhere in the middle of all of this, you grab a free hot dog, because apparently trick-or-treat candy isn't considered lunch.
There isn't one attraction you're supposed to rush toward. There isn't a complicated schedule to follow. You just explore.
Dance. Play. Trick-or-treat. Visit the animals. Get your face painted. Hit the playground. Grab something to eat. Find Sean and critique his costume.
Then do another lap.
Halloween at the Clubhouse Feels Different
The best part isn't any single activity.
It's who gets to experience it together.
Casey's Clubhouse was built around creating opportunities for individuals with disabilities to thrive, but Case's Halloween Experience brings the entire community into our home.
Our athletes are here. Their siblings are here. MVPs are here. Friends from school are here. Grandparents are here. Neighbors who may have never visited Casey's Clubhouse before are here.
For a couple of hours, everyone is simply part of the same giant Halloween party.
You might see one of our athletes racing a sibling toward an inflatable. A kid meeting a pony for the first time. An MVP running into a player they haven't seen since baseball season. A family taking a picture with Case. Or a group of kids comparing their trick-or-treat haul like they've just completed a major business transaction.
Those little moments are what make the day special.
And with more than 2,000 people attending the event, there are a lot of them.
Want to Join the Fun? Set Up a Table. It's FREE.
One of the things that makes Case's Halloween Experience work is the incredible participation from businesses, nonprofits and organizations throughout our community.
And here's the best part.
Vendor tables are completely free.
We're not asking you to write a sponsorship check just to participate. We want organizations throughout Pittsburgh, the South Hills and surrounding communities to come be part of the experience.
We'll provide the table. You bring the fun.
Decorate your space for Halloween. Bring a simple game or activity. Hand out candy, toys or another trick-or-treat item. Tell families about your business or organization while you're there.
The only catch? Don't be boring.
Okay, that's not technically a rule.
But we do ask every vendor to create some type of fun interaction at their table, provide a trick-or-treat item and stay for the full two-hour event. Businesses and nonprofits are welcome to promote what they do, but nothing can be sold during the event.
It's community engagement without the boring name tags and conference-room coffee.
And you'll have a couple thousand potential new friends walking past your table.
Come Experience It
Maybe your family has been part of Casey's Clubhouse for years.
Maybe you've driven past our field a hundred times and always wondered what happens here.
Maybe your kids just heard the words "pony rides, inflatables and free hot dogs" and stopped listening to everything after that.
All are acceptable reasons to come.
Case's Halloween Experience takes place Saturday, October 24, 2026, from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. at Casey's Clubhouse Stadium in Boyce Mayview Park.
It's free. It's open to everyone. Costumes are strongly encouraged.
And if you're wondering what Sean Casey is going to wear this year?
So are we.
Welcome to the Club. Halloween edition.
