Squirrel-O-Ween provides a safe and fun environment for children to trick-or-treat throughout the stadium, according to a press release from the team. The event also will feature hayrides around the warning track of The Diamond.

Attendees are encouraged to come in costume for a chance to win prizes in various categories, including “Squirrelliest,” “Best Group,” “Best Duo,” “Scariest,” and “Most Creative.” In addition, a “Dress Like Your Dog” contest, in partnership with Woofy Wellness Ranch, will offer K9 prizes for the winners. Costume contest winners will be announced at 8 p.m.

During the event, a flash sale will be held for fans to purchase tickets for the 2025 opening night game on April 4 and the Independence Day Celebration on July 3. Tickets can be purchased in person at The Diamond’s ticket booths. Nutzy and Nutasha, the Flying Squirrels mascots, will be available for photos, and food and beverages will be available for purchase at the concession stand on the first-base side.

Parking is free in the lots at The Diamond. This year’s event is sponsored by AAA Mid-Atlantic and supported by the Drug Enforcement Administration.

The Flying Squirrels will begin their 2025 season Friday, April 4, at The Diamond against the Akron RubberDucks. Full-season memberships are currently available, and the full 2025 schedule can be found on the team’s website.
