Various localities where people, especially around Halloween, will dress up as witches and partake in fun activities, including paddling on waterways in canoes, kayaks, or paddleboards.

Such events are often community-driven and meant for fun rather than any authentic or traditional witchcraft practice. Participants typically dress in witch costumes, complete with hats and brooms, and paddle along rivers, lakes, or other waterways. These events can be a sight to behold, as a flotilla of ‘witches’ on the water is both playful and ties into the Halloween spirit.

Besides the fun and spectacle, some of these events are organized to raise funds or awareness for charitable causes. If the “Annual Witches Paddle” has become more widespread or significant after 2021, you might want to check local news sources or websites for the most recent information.
