Hocus Pocus Pops

Hello Halloween! Creepy costumes, monster mashes, and trick-or-treat sweets are the stuff Halloween legends are made of. As fall rolls in and the leaves start to change, Hocus Pocus Pops is the annual gathering of ghouls and gals that marks the start of every year's spookiest season.

The Houston Symphony always finds new means of amazing at Hocus Pocus Pops. Sometimes they play Halloween classics or put a spin on a song you'd never have thought to be Halloween-y.

The highlight of the night, though, has to be the Goblin Parade. Watching hundreds of costumed kids prance and dance across The Pavilion's Main Stage provides an unmatched bliss. As the crowd roars and parents snap a hundred quick picks, the Symphony accompanies the kids with yet another grandly terrifying tune.
