We dress up like witches and walk around town to collect non-perishable food donations for local food banks!

Nope! Dressing up is optional but encouraged!

No set dress code – just make sure your cape won’t get tangled in your broomstick.

We’ll leave from the park on Victoria Drive at 6 pm.

Feel free to join us anywhere along the route. Participation is voluntary and our route is merely a suggestion for your witchy wandering.

Feel free to adjust the distance to suit you!

Donations will be shared with local food banks, community cupboards, and with organizations that support the Melbourne and area community.

If you’re not able to join us but have donations, you can meet us at the park starting at 4pm or drop off to one of the other participating businesses in town in the weeks before the walk.

If you’re able, meet us at the road along our route, or flag up down from your porch, and we’ll pick up your items as we walk around town!

The 3rd Annual Melbourne Witch Walk was a wonderful way to spend a Friday evening in a small Ontario town!

A local food truck, activities and the library, and lots of Witches wandering around.

Our food collection total was bigger than pervious years, and required two car loads full to deliver all the goods!

With a trail of mini wagons, and a gaggle of Witches of all sorts and ages, we walked with an impressive collection of canned food into the sunset.

The 2nd annual Witch Walk was a success!

Together with local businesses and seniors apartments we collected over 420 lbs of food!

I ask a lot of one-off questions people think are silly at the time... But there's usually a reason, and a "brilliant" idea attached!

The original idea has adjusted slightly from the first inquiry, but I think it's pretty special that the annual Melbourne Witch Walk started out with a question like this;

"Anyone want to dress up like witches and bike around town some time before Halloween? #imseriousthough"

We were able to collect a total of 152 items, filling a total of 5 boxes!
