F.A.Q’s
Is this event free?
Yes! Of course we welcome anyone who wants to join in on the fun, costumed or not to enjoy beautiful Bay St. Louis for free. But if you want tons of freebies and to participate in the contests and support the small businesses of the Old Town Merchants Association then you will want to register.
Do I have to dress up?
No! While we are expecting 1000’s of costumed witches, anyone wearing anything is welcome to come, register, and participate. If you do not register, come join the fun and witch watch!
Will there be a group costume contest?
Yes! Each of the 4 contests, best costume, best hat, best broom and best shoes will have a group category. Every member of your group needs to be registered to compete.
Where does the event take place?
All over Old Town Bay St. Louis from Downtown to the Depot District. This event is a casual stroll around town at your own pace. The scheduled events are all voluntary and we encourage you to pay a visit to our local small businesses and see the best of what the Bay has to offer.
Can I buy merch?
Yes! The Witches Walk art was designed by local artist Ann Madden. Her design is on t-shirts and etched insulated cups you can buy in person Friday night at the Welcome Party and Saturday during the Witches Walk while supplies last.
