​14th Witches of Delray Beach Bike Ride Set

9/16/2025

 
PictureGhostbusters -- 2024 Ride
(Press Release) Delray Beach, FL (September 16, 2025) -- Witches, mount your brooms--it’s time to ride! Achievement Centers for Children & Families will host its 14th Annual Witches of Delray Beach Bike Ride on Saturday, October 25th. This year’s flight features an extended route of two miles, giving witches even more room to soar! Once again, witches will enchant Downtown Delray Beach—taking flight from City Hall and cackling down the iconic Atlantic Avenue and Pineapple Grove in a swirl of magic.

Three hundred (300) witches will don their best witch-wear and extravagantly decorated brooms (bikes) to ride through scenic Downtown Delray Beach, all guided by the Delray Beach Police Department. The ride will take off promptly at 8:30 a.m. After the ride, the witchy celebration will continue with music, mingling, and awards including “Best Costume,” “Best Witch Cackle,” “Best Decorated Broom (Bike),” and “Best Group Theme.” Price to fly is $75 through September 30, and $100 beginning October 1.

This year’s Sorcerer Supreme title sponsor is Mariner Wealth Management. Coven Commander presenting sponsors include Betr Project and Delray Dermatology and Cosmetic Center. Patty Jones is the Wicked Milliner sponsor. Ancient Order of Hibernians and Delray Beach Orchid Society are the Witches Brewmasters. The Knight Group, Sunshine Dry Clean, and Synovus Bank are magic potion sponsors. Additional sponsors include Craft Food Tours; Richwagen’s Delray Bike & Sport; and Tito’s Handmade Vodka. Additional supporters to date include Amanda Perna; Barbara Aridas Designs Jewelry; Barre Envy; Blenders Eyewear; CACTI Park of the Palm Beaches; Cut 432; Deck 84; Delray Beach Public Library; Good Night John Boy; Hookless Lure Fishing Charter; Jonathan's Landing Golf Club; Jupiter Inlet Lighthouse & Museum; Kilwin's Of Delray Beach; Lady Lenormand; Lion Country Safari; Palm Beach Dramaworks; Prime Catch; Sara Campbell; Total Wine & More; and Veronica Gunn.
 
We’re bringing the fun and flair with our Annual Hat Decorating Party, now part of the official Do Good Delray kickoff celebration on October 1st at 7 p.m. at Tin Roof, and hosted by Amanda Perna CEO, Founder, and Creative Director of The House of Perna, Co-Founder of A Little Wyld, and a two-time Project Runway designer, and the Delray Beach Chamber of Commerce. A $25 ticket includes one specialty cocktail featuring Tito’s Handmade Vodka and access to the Do Good Delray Networking Event, while the Hat Decorating Upgrade for $50 includes one specialty cocktail featuring Tito’s Handmade Vodka plus one witch hat and all decorating materials, VIP entry into the Green Room (our private, creative space), and expert styling guidance from Amanda Perna—fashion designer and hat-decorating queen! The event will be held at 8 E. Atlantic Avenue, Delray Beach. Space is limited.
 
Next, witches can show off their spellbinding smarts at Witches Trivia Night on Wednesday, October 8th from 7:30-9:30p.m. at Tim Finnegan’s Irish Pub. This free event features themed trivia, raffles, food and drink specials, and more- all in support of the Witches Ride. Costumes encouraged!
 
Additionally, long-time event partner Tim Finnegan’s Irish Pub in Delray Beach will host the signature “Witches Brew” fundraiser on Friday, October 17th from 6 to 9 p.m. Expect raffles, contests, food and drinks, prizes for Best Decorated Table and Best Dressed Brew Attendee, and so much more. Seats are $65 each with limited availability. Raffle tickets to win one of two decorated bicycles are available at Tim Finnegan’s starting October 1.
 
Funds raised from the Witches Ride directly benefit Achievement Centers for Children & Families, a community-based organization dedicated to serving under-resourced children and families in Delray Beach and surrounding communities.
 
"Fourteen years in, the Witches Ride is more than just a tradition—it’s a celebration of community and creativity," said Stephanie Seibel, CEO of the Achievement Centers. "What began as a fun, whimsical event has grown into powerful support for the families we serve. Each year, we’re blown away by the enthusiasm and generosity that fills the streets. It’s a beautiful reminder of what’s possible when people come together for a cause that truly matters."
