Witches Ride

2024 Witches Ride October 5th 1PM Parade

The Children’s Museum is a place of magic for the community's youngest. Make a difference and have fun doing it. Ride through the streets of Windsor Heights on your brooms….or rather bikes, in witch or themed costumes.  You can ride as an individual or form a coven as you create magic and have a flying good time tossing candy! The parade ends near Colby Park which leads into Windsor Heights Fall Fest.

Special note: Magic makers aren’t exclusively female.

Participate information: Individual: $10.00, Coven (up to 6): $50.00
