With Ghostbusters Day 2026 less than three weeks away, the Buffalo Ghostbusters<\/a> have made another major wave of announcements tied to this year\u2019s celebration, confirming the first round of guests, live entertainment, additional exclusive collectibles, and much more, all set to take over New York City\u2019s Hook & Ladder 8 on June 6th.<\/p>\n Among the latest reveals is the return of the Yes Have Some Podcast<\/a> kickoff party, once again helping launch Ghostbusters Day weekend festivities with a live show featuring surprise guests, an open bar, exclusive merchandise, and more. Tickets for the event are scheduled to go on sale tomorrow, May 19th, at 11:00 AM EST through the podcast\u2019s online store<\/a>, with a portion of the proceeds benefiting the Starlight Children\u2019s Foundation.<\/p>\n Outside of the happenings at Hook & Ladder 8 itself, the Buffalo Ghostbusters have also confirmed that both food trucks and restrooms will be part of this year\u2019s event, addressing two of the most frequently requested additions from fans attending the annual gathering outside the iconic firehouse.<\/p>\n Meanwhile, the first wave of guest announcements has begun rolling out, including the return of Joe Cirillo, remembered by fans as the police captain who memorably tells off Walter Peck during Ghostbusters\u2019 containment unit shutdown scene. Cirillo\u2019s appearance will operate under a \u201cPay What You Can Afford\u201d<\/em> format, allowing attendees to receive an autograph in exchange for a donation to the event. Fans will be able to bring their own item to sign or select from available 8\u00d710 prints, while Cirillo will also have copies of his memoir, An Offer I Couldn\u2019t Refuse: From the NYPD to Hollywood<\/em>, available for purchase.<\/p>\n Entertainment-wise, organizers have also announced the return of several familiar performers. The Alessi Brothers, known for their heroic anthem \u201cSaving the Day,\u201d<\/em> are set to perform live during the event alongside Philadelphia-based punk-rock band, The Mad Splatter. Also returning is DJ STEVE-O, who kept crowds dancing throughout last year\u2019s rainstorm-filled celebration.<\/p>\n The latest updates also circle back to the recently announced Kenner-inspired \u201cMystery Medallions,\u201d<\/em><\/a> with the Buffalo Ghostbusters now confirming special \u201cWhat If?\u201d<\/em> variants. Inspired by The Real Ghostbusters<\/em> toyline, the alternate medallions reimagine classic role-play gear using film-inspired color schemes, including the Proton Pack, PKE Meter, Ghost Trap, Firehouse, and Ecto Charger, all packaged inside mystery envelopes.<\/p>\n The variant medallions will be randomly inserted at a 1:4 ratio, giving collectors a chase-style incentive alongside the standard lineup. As previously announced, the medallions will measure 1.5 inches, slightly smaller than this year\u2019s previously revealed 2-inch challenge coin, and will be priced at $15 USD each or $25 USD for two.<\/p>\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/ghostbustersnews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/ghostbusters_day_news_roundup_banner.webp\")
