T-Town Witches Ride 🚲
Tuscaloosa will begin a whimsical Halloween tradition with local “witches” flying through the streets on their “broomcycles” to raise money for The Arc of Tuscaloosa County and the 300+ individuals it serves in our community. Women 18 years of age and older are invited to participate in the first annual T-Town Witches Ride. Family and friends of all ages are encouraged to line the sidewalks to view the parade of witches flying by. After the ride, there will be a “Black Cat Block Party” with entertainment, raffle prizes, kids activities and awards for the winners. Registration is $25 per witch! So ladies, get your most creative witch costume ready, decorate your broomcycle and get ready to fly! To register and get more information, visit this website.
