- 🎟️ Wristbands: ONLY those collecting candy need a wristband (adults if you want to collect candy that’s fine but you need a wristband). Wristbands are $3 per person during pre-sale which is going on now or they will be available at the event for $5. It is free to attend, wristbands are only needed for candy collection. If purchased during pre-sale, all wristbands will come home with your child whose teacher you select at checkout.
