Witches Ride of Minden

The Pearls of Purpose, an all ladies group, brought the Witches Ride to Minden in the fall of 2023. Pearls of
Purpose, Inc is a 501(c)3, non-profit organization that was formed with the intention to bring family friendly events
to areas all across north Louisiana. All events will benefit a local community endeavor and charity. The Pearls
of Purpose mission is to connect women from surrounding communities, build camaraderie, support charitable
and community endeavors all while exhibiting a joie de vivre perspective. 

A little History about the Witches Ride: The Witches Ride was started over 30 years ago in Seaside, FL, and
has taken fire across the southeast. Several neighboring towns currently host similar rides and our group
decided Minden was in need of this type of community event. Think of a whimsical bike ride or golf cart parade with ladies from
all across north Louisiana dressed in their spookiest and most festive garb, all while benefiting the community
and local charities.

This year’s Witches Ride will take place on Saturday, October 25, 2025, in downtown Minden, with a block party
immediately following. The ride is for women only for ages 18+. We encourage spouses,
kids, etc. to participate as parade watchers as well as join in on the festivities at the block party. Last year’s ride
brought in over 400 participants, and we expect an even larger crowd this year. Ride participant tickets,
block party only tickets and custom witch merch are available on the website, witchesrideminden.com. Kids
entry into the block party is free. Monies raised will go towards local charities and community endeavors.
