This Halloween Fest 1 Hour From NYC Has A Witches Paddleboard Parade, Live Music, Food Vendors & More — And It’s This Weekend Only

The Wicked Witch of the West might melt in the rain, but the witches of **Sleepy Hollow** actually thrive in the water — and this **fall festival** is proof. The annual **SUP Witches Paddle**, a product of Rivertowns SUP & Yoga, sees that all members of the coven hit the water in their goth garb for the annual tradition. If you thought these ladies knew how to zip around on a broom, wait ’til you see them in action on the Hudson River. For a fun **Halloween** experience with a summer twist, allow us to fill you in. (And yes, the Headless Horseman will be in attendance as well — but no water activities for him.) A deep dive into the SUP Witches Paddle --------------------------------------- Before the festivities kick off on the water at 1pm, Kingspland Point Park will have plenty to offer: live music from The Slicked Up 9’s , craft cocktails and beer, goods from local vendors, and food neighborhood eats like Walter’s Hot Dogs and Beekman Ale House . Tickets are sold on site, and those who are interested in paddling — witch costume required — **will need to register online** ($35 for those bringing their own board, $50 for those who are not). Paddling witches need not purchase an extra ticket after registering. Before hitting the water, keep in mind that there are a few non-negotiable requirements for witches: * All witches need to know how to swim * PFDs and leashes are required * Previous paddle experience is required For more information on the event, visit the Rivertowns Sup & Yoga website. Even if you’re not keen on paddling, there are plenty of other fall activities to keep witches, ghosts, ghouls, and beyond busy this spooky season. 🗓️ Sunday, October 12th 📍 Kingsland Point Park, Sleepy Hollow (266 Palmer Ave) ⏰ 12-4pm Tickets available online and at the gate; $8 Source: https://secretnyc.co/sup-witches-paddle-sleepy-hollow-2025/
