Birmingham, AL, October 8, 2026 — A series of six “Witches Rides” are slated to take place throughout the greater Birmingham, Alabama area in October 2026. These community events are designed to bring costumed participants together for a festive ride through several local neighborhoods.
The planned rides are scheduled to occur in multiple locations, including Bluff Park, Hueytown, Cahaba Heights, Homewood, Trussville, and Star Lake. Participants will don costumes as they ride through these areas.
A key feature of the Witches Rides is the tradition of participants tossing candy to spectators lining the routes. This interactive element is often a highlight for attendees of all ages.
Beyond the spectacle and candy distribution, these events frequently serve a charitable purpose. Organizers noted that the rides often support local charities, contributing to community well-being. Specific details regarding which charities will benefit from the 2026 rides, or the exact dates and times for each individual event, were not immediately available.
The Witches Rides have become a recurring tradition in various communities, blending recreational activity with community engagement and charitable giving. Residents in the designated areas can anticipate these costumed parades in the autumn of 2026.
