About this event

 Witches of all kinds take to the streets in their most imaginative attire—decorated hats, flowing costumes, and broomsticks in hand—to dance, wander, and celebrate for a great cause.

Event Highlights:
  • Witch Way Wanderers Dancers – Inspired by Germany’s Wolfshager Hexenbrut, our troupe performs joyful, flash mob-style dances throughout the day, often teaching a few spectators along the way.
  • Registration & Basket Raffle – 2:00–4:00 p.m. at 37 High Rock Ave (City Center Parking Garage, lower level). Pick up your wristband, exclusive 2026 enamel pin, and browse raffle baskets donated by local businesses and talented witches.
  • Citywide Dancing – Performances begin in the new Flat Rock Park and continue at downtown locations until 9:00 p.m.
  • Dance Practices – Open to all, (see FB page Witch Walk SOSA for updates). Final dress rehearsal: October 14th 5:00 Flat Rock Park.

A Growing Tradition: What began in Ballston Spa in 2005 has become a 21-year tradition, now thriving in Saratoga Springs. Each year, the Witch Walk grows more colorful, inclusive, and creative—adding new features like a Witches Wander, vendors, and more.

Why We Love It: Participants explore local businesses, join in the dances, and enjoy a spirited night out with friends old and new. The witches bring a unique charm to downtown—celebrating fall, Halloween, and everything October is meant to be.
