Witches Ride Takes Flight Again in Hollingsworth Park

The magic returned this fall for the second annual Witches Ride in Hollingsworth Park, a whimsical 2026 Halloween tradition originally dreamed up by three enthusiastic Belhaven moms — Beth Hilliard, Holli Johnston, and Beth Exley.

Open to women and men of all ages, the event invited participants to don their witchiest attire, hop on their broomstick-inspired bicycles, and pedal through the neighborhoods of Hollingsworth Park tossing candy along the way. Building on last year’s debut, this year's ride welcomed even more children participating throughout the neighborhood, creative and interesting costumes, and wonderful engagement from the entire Hollingsworth community, all while continuing its mission to support Legacy Park Friends and future upgrades to playground equipment at Legacy Park.

With laughter, imaginative costumes, and community spirit on full display, the second annual Witches Ride was another wickedly good time — and organizers look forward to growing the tradition even further in future years with more riders and a parade of festive golf carts.
