13th Annual Witch Ride for Charity—Saturday, October 25th, 2025.
About Us
Each year, the Witches of Delray gather to decorate our bikes (brooms), dress up in our wicked best witch-ware, and raise money for the Achievement Centers for Children and Families. As of the 2024 ride, we’ve raised over $223,000 for this fantastic Delray Beach charity.
Our annual Halloween charity bike ride occurs on the last Saturday in October. Our route includes historic downtown Delray and Atlantic Avenue. At the end of our flight, we have contests for “Best Decorated Bike,” “Best Witch Costume,” and “Best Witch Cackle.”
Charity funds are raised through the Witches of Delray rider fees and various fundraising activities leading up to the event. Please explore our website to learn more about our charity group and sign up to join the fun.

Greetings, my pretties! It’s time for the 13th annual Witches of Delray Witch Ride, benefiting Achievement Centers for Children and Families.
What’s so lucky about 13? Besides the obvious, that little extra push of magic that a number like 13 can add to your spells worked this year… The witches are back on the Ave! That’s right, the city of Delray Beach has approved our flight for Atlantic Avenue! We’re back! Flying by all your favorites, like the Green Market, the Cornell, and the Colony, and ending our flight back on stage at Old School Square, where we will partake in our post-flight shenanigans and awards!
As if being back on the Ave wasn’t magic enough, we have even more exciting events planned for throughout October, including Witches Trivia, “Not You Basic Witch Hat Decorating” with Amanda Perna, and our 10th Annual Witches Brew at Tim Finnegan’s Irish Pub!
