This bicycle ride and walk coincide with Fort Smith's Fall Festival and Octoberfest. So, witches grab your broom and bicycle and join the fun in the witches' parade downtown beginning at 6th and Garrison and flying down to 11th Street before returning to the First National Bank parking lot. All witches must be checked in by 8:30 AM with the ride starting at the witching hour at 9 AM.
