Our Witches Ride and Walk on Main will be on Saturday, October 18, 2025, starting at 6 PM. Witches, warlocks, and goblins—bring your broomsticks, decorate your bikes, and show off your spookiest costumes in this family-friendly parade down Main Street. Don’t forget the candy to toss to the crowd!
Our parade route this year has changed; on-site registration and check-in will take place at the English Cottage from 4 to 5:45 PM. Parade participants will then gather at the Spring Street Station parking lot to begin their whimsical stroll through downtown at 6 PM.
Spectators are welcome to attend, watch the parade, and collect candy – just don’t forget to bring a bucket!
The online registration deadline for this event is Monday, October 13, 2025.

There will be a free community (outdoor) concert with the Vintage Vixens from 7:30 to 9 PM.
