The Witches Ride of St. Francisville — a costumed charity bike ride benefiting The Purple House Foundation
Every October in the Ville
Hundreds of witches, one very good cause.
Each October, the streets of historic St. Francisville come alive with hundreds of witches on bikes, broom-cycles, and decked out rides as we gather for the annual Witches Ride of St. Francisville. This whimsical, family-friendly event combines creativity, community, and a little bit of mischief — all for a powerful purpose.
The ride isn’t just about costumes and cackles; it’s about supporting The Purple House Foundation. The Purple House Foundation is committed to supporting women and children escaping domestic abuse by providing critical resources and raising awareness through community education.
↝ it’s basically the best girls’ day of the year.
hats on, let’s geaux!
