The 2024 Kingston Witches’ Walk is a success

A story by admin on .

As the dust settles on another enchanting Kingston Witches’ Walk, we want to take a moment to extend our heartfelt gratitude to everyone who made this year’s event such a remarkable success.

Thanks to your generous participation and donations, we raised an impressive $468.00 for the Elizabeth Fry Society Kingston! Your support will go a long way in helping this vital organization continue its important work in our community.

From the spirited participants who donned their best witchy attire to individuals who contributed to the event, each of you played a crucial role in making this year’s walk not just a fundraiser, but a celebration of community spirit. It was truly magical to see so many people come together, sharing laughter and a love for our town, all while supporting a worthy cause.

The Elizabeth Fry Society Kingston provides essential services to women and children in need, helping them find safety, stability, and a brighter future. With the funds raised this year, we’re proud to support their ongoing efforts in our community.

We also want to thank our volunteers who dedicated their time and energy to ensure everything ran smoothly. Your hard work did not go unnoticed, and we are grateful for your commitment and enthusiasm.

We would also like to thank Downtown Kingston for sharing our event to local downtown businesses. We endeavour to connect to local businesses to make this event a bigger success in 2025.

As we look back on this year’s Witches’ Walk, we feel incredibly proud of what we’ve accomplished together. Thank you once again to everyone who participated, donated, and supported this event. We can’t wait to see you all again next year for another spellbinding experience!

Stay witchy and wonderful,

The Witches’ Road

A story by admin on .

Join us for our Witches’ Walk this Saturday, October 5th. We have a starting point and an end point, but it’s all about the journey. So we’ve come up with two roads you could use. On these roads, there will be magical sights to be seen. Conjure your road and have fun with your sister witches and wizards.

Witches’ Road 1

Witches’ Road 1 directions:

  • Begin with your sister witches in Skeleton Park/McBurney Park, north side by the obelisk monument.
  • Head down to the giant hag stone. What is a hag stone? A big stone with a hole in it. You can find it at 221 Queen St.
  • Head down to the tunnel of light and sing the Witches’ Road. This is the hidden back alley gem and part of the Rocheleau Court. Just off Brock Street (67 Brock).
  • There be gargoyles! Find the mystical creature made by by Barry Blonden on the doorway. 312 King St East.
  • End your journey meeting your fellow sisters at Market Square. We’ll be joined by the Cauldron Sisters and a few closing words.

Witches’ Road 2

Witches’ Road 2 directions:

  • Begin with your sister witches in Skeleton Park/McBurney Park, north side by the obelisk monument.
  • Head down to the old limestone building with flame torch lights and a big metal gate. Are we in Salem or Kingston? Welcome to the Renaissance Event Venue at 285 Queen St.
  • It’s time to run amok! Head down to Sydenham Street where there are play sets and colourful chairs. Give the locals a little cackle while you are there.
  • Head down to Rocheleau Court. This is the hidden back alley gem where you can find Chez Piggy and the Toucan. Explore the shadows and rub a good luck stone.
  • End your journey meeting your fellow sisters at Market Square. We’ll be joined by the Cauldron Sisters and a few closing words.

It’s better as a coven

A story by admin on .

It’s better participating in the walk as a coven. The supreme witches suggest you walk in small groups. We will call these small groups your coven. Your coven will choose the path to the final destination.

Each coven should have a head witch. This head witch will lead your coven on the magical journey. We ask head witches to:

  • gather your coven near the Rev’d Barclay monument in Skeleton Park.
  • listen to announcements from the supreme witches.
  • share announcements with their coven.
  • reminds the coven to stick to pedestrian paths and rules of the road – like using sidewalks, mindful of crosswalks (this is not a parade using the streets of Kingston).
  • have ample space between your coven and other covens. Try to avoid bottlenecking. It’s not a race, it’s a walk.
  • lead your coven on your chosen path to the final destination. This path could include stopping at a local haunt for photos, having a quick witches’ brew coffee stop, buying that last minute flying broom, or arriving early to watch all the other witches.

If you are a solo-practitioner – think about joining a coven. Arrive early to find other solo-practitioners to join in and start your own coven.
