About Us
The Sandusky Witches’ Walk™ is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization that blends magic, community pride, and charitable purpose. What began in 2011 as a small gathering of 20 local businesswomen dressed as witches to bring life to a quiet Wednesday night has grown into one of Sandusky’s most enchanting and impactful annual traditions.
By 2014, this whimsical walk had transformed into a charitable event dedicated to strengthening our community. Guided by our Opening Spell — “The Witches’ Walk™ shall never die!” — we embraced a new mission: to give back, uplift, and unite the people of Sandusky through celebration and generosity.
As the event evolved, the Witches’ Dance grew into one of our most meaningful traditions. Each year, friends, families, neighbors, and visitors gather shoulder-to-shoulder, moving together in a joyful, synchronized celebration. More than a dance, it has become a powerful symbol of community spirit — a reminder that when we come together, we create something magical, memorable, and bigger than ourselves.
And the magic doesn’t end there.
A $2,500 Grand Prize raffle, exclusive Cauldron Stop perks, and a truly enchanting night of community celebration await — all included with every participating ticket.
In 2025, our magic reached historic heights as the Sandusky Witches’ Walk™ earned two official Guinness World Records® right here in the Halloween Capital of Ohio®:
🏆 Largest Witch Costume Contest — 970 participants (Record ID: 777117)
🏆 Largest Witches’ Dance — 727 participants dancing together (Record ID: 774962)
These achievements reflect not just the spirit of our coven, but the power, pride, and creativity of our entire community.
