Our legendary queens will light up the night with spellbinding performances, fabulous costumes, and all the mischief Salem can handle. Enjoy delicious witty pub fare while cackling with delight as history and magic collide."
During the event, the performer Just JP will make an appearance. Just JP has long been a staple of the drag community in Massachusetts.

About the film, 'Hocus Pocus?'
The movie focuses on The Sanderson Sisters, three witches from 17th Century Salem who come back from the dead to seek vengeance on those who put them to death hundreds of years before. A teenage boy named Max and his sister must find a way to stop the sisters during the course of the movie.
While the film may sound macabre, it is far from that. It is actually a comedy, as the Sanderson Sisters turn out to be less threatening than they seem.
"Hocus Pocus 2" was released to eager audiences in 2022. It brought back Midler, Najimy and Parker, who play the Sanderson Sisters.
