Welcome to Witches on Water — Sooke's community Halloween paddle fundraiser, back for its 2026 edition on October 3rd.What it's aboutWitches on Water is exactly what it sounds like: paddlers of all kinds — SUP boards, kayaks, canoes — dress up in their best witchy, spooky, or just plain fun costumes and take to the water together at Whiffin Spit. It's part parade, part community celebration, and part fundraiser, all wrapped up in one of the most photogenic evenings Sooke has to offer. Think glowing lights on the water, costumes reflecting in the harbour, and neighbours cheering from the shore.Who can attendEveryone. This event is built for the whole community — experienced paddlers, first-timers, families, and spectators alike. You don't need to own your own board or boat to take part; you can come cheer from the shoreline, and there are options to join on the water even if you've never paddled before. [Add specifics here: minimum age, equipment rentals available, registration link/cost.]Why we're doing itWitches on Water raises funds and awareness for the Sooke Food Bank, supporting neighbours in our own community who need it most heading into the winter months. I'm proud to help organize and cohost this event — Sooke has given so much to us, and this is one small way to give back while doing something genuinely fun together.Why you need to be thereBecause it's one of those only-in-Sooke nights. There's nowhere else you'll see the harbour lit up with costumed paddlers gliding past Whiffin Spit at dusk — it's magical, it's a little silly, and it brings the whole town out together. Whether you paddle or just watch from shore, you'll leave with photos you'll want to post and a warm feeling knowing you helped support local families.PrizesYes — there will be prizes! Costume contests on the water and on shore mean there's a reason to go all-out on your Halloween look this year.
