Downtown Sandusky's small businesses are getting creative for Witches Walk! 🧙‍♀️

This October, local shops have designed their own custom event apparel, and no two look alike. Wild Thistle, The Dyein’ Hippie, Coveted by Cher, and Henry’s Shoppes each put their own spin on the season, and every piece is a fun way to show off your Sandusky pride. Pick up your 2026 gear from your favorite (or all four) and support a small business while you're at it.

Sandusky Witches Walk is next Saturday, October 17, so grab your apparel and join us downtown in your best look. Tag a friend and cheers to a week of fun, friendship, and event magic. ✨ 🧹

🧹 Next Saturday is Sandusky Witches Walk. Get ready Sandusky! 🧹

🧹 THE BIGGEST BROOM IN OHIO HAS ARRIVED. 🖤

We're busy preparing to welcome you — and look what just landed.

I'm honored to present our 10.5-foot broom. Yes, you read that right. TEN AND A HALF FEET of pure witch power. 👀

Because when you're hosting Sandusky, Halloween Capital of Ohio… a regular broom just won't do. 🖤

We made it as a team — special thanks to Jarrod Walters, aka Professor Corvin Blackwell and his vision for bringing this one to life. 🖤 This is what happens when a coven works together.

Every detail. Every prop. Every late night. All of it — for one great cause: supporting the youth, seniors, and foster youth of Erie County.

7 days to go. The magic is almost here. ✨

📍 Sat Oct 17 · Jackson Street Pier
