Tickets are now on sale for the 2026 Witches Ride of Minden, with organizers encouraging participants to reserve their spots early for one of the city’s signature fall events.
The annual fundraiser, hosted by Pearls of Purpose, Inc., will return to downtown Minden on Saturday, October 24, bringing together participants dressed in elaborate witch-themed costumes for an evening ride through downtown followed by community festivities.
According to organizers, only 75 early bird tickets are available. Once those tickets are sold, participants will pay the regular admission price. Ticket prices will also increase beginning September 15.
Organizers are also offering a limited number of golf cart rentals for the event. Those rentals are expected to sell out quickly.
“The wait is over… 2026 Witches Ride of Minden tickets are officially ON SALE!” organizers announced in a social media post. “Gather your coven, dust off your broomsticks, and get ready for one of Minden’s most magical traditions.”
Participants are encouraged to begin planning costumes and gather friends to form riding groups, commonly referred to as “covens.”
The Witches Ride has become a popular annual tradition in Minden, drawing hundreds of participants and spectators. The event serves as a fundraiser for local charitable projects supported by Pearls of Purpose, Inc.
Tickets may be purchased through the event’s online registration page at witchesrideminden.com. Organizers said early registration is recommended because of limited ticket availability and the anticipated demand for golf cart rentals.
The 2026 Witches Ride is scheduled for Saturday, October 24, in downtown Minden.
