About The Witches Ride: Although relatively new to Fort Smith, the Witches Ride has taken flight in communities across the U.S. over the last 30 years as a unique and festive way to support local causes. Participants dress as witches and ride together, creating a spellbinding spectacle while raising funds for important community organizations. Be a part of Fort Smith’s 3rd annual Witches Ride and help us keep this enchanting tradition growing!
