The Witches Are Back in Saratoga!
Mark your calendars—on Saturday, October 17th 2026 (2:00 p.m. – 9:00 p.m.), the Annual Witch Walk & Dance Animal Benefit returns for its 5th year in Downtown Saratoga Springs, NY.
This one-of-a-kind fundraiser brings together 500+ participants, raising thousands for animal charities while supporting local businesses. 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.

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 m
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.
