Could Your Family Be Boo’d? 150 Families Will Find Out!

September 24, 2026

Halloween is about to get a little more fun for 150 Acadiana families!

Macaroni KID Lafayette is teaming up with some amazing local sponsors to spread a little Halloween magic around our community with 150 Boo Baskets delivered to local doorsteps.

And your family could be one of them!

What Does It Mean to Get Boo’d?

If you’ve never been Boo’d before, here’s how it works: A surprise Halloween treat is secretly left on your doorstep along with a sign letting you know You’ve Been Boo’d!

The best part? Once you’ve been Boo’d, it’s your turn to keep the fun going. Put your Boo sign where neighbors can see it, then choose another family to surprise with a few Halloween treats of your own.

Before you know it, Boo signs start popping up all over the neighborhood!

Want a Chance to Be Boo’d?

We have 150 Boo Baskets ready to make their way to families around Acadiana. If you’d like your family to have a chance to receive one, fill out our Boo’d Family Sign-Up Form.

Signing up does not guarantee that your family will receive a basket—we expect to have more families sign up than we have baskets available. And we won’t spoil the surprise by letting selected families know ahead of time.

If you’re one of the lucky 150, one day you’ll simply open your door and discover that you’ve been Boo’d!

SIGN UP FOR A CHANCE TO BE BOO’D

And if a Boo Basket does show up at your house, there’s just one thing we ask: keep the tradition going! Pick another family, put together a little Halloween surprise and give them the fun of being Boo’d, too.

A huge thank you to our local sponsors for helping us surprise 150 families and spread some Halloween fun throughout Acadiana!

Don’t Wait to Get Boo’d!

You don’t have to wait for a Boo Basket to show up on your doorstep to start the tradition. Surprise a neighbor, friend or family member and get the Boo’ing started yourself!

Our free printable “You’ve Been Boo’d” sign makes it easy to start. Grab a few treats, print your sign and make someone’s day with a Halloween surprise.
