The Art Behind the Magic 

Gettysburg Witches’ Walk Art Show October 2026 

What happens when the witches put down their brooms and pick up their paintbrushes, cameras, pens, needles, and tools? 

Magic, of course. 

This October, the Gettysburg Witches’ Walk takes over the Adams County Arts Council gallery with an eclectic collection of artwork created by artists from within our own wonderfully witchy community. 

Expect the whimsical, mysterious, beautiful, strange, unexpected—and perhaps a little enchanted. 

We’re more than pointy hats and dancing feet. We’re artists, makers, dreamers, and creatives. 

Come see what the witches have been making. 

 

 

The Gettysburg Witches’ Walk is an inclusive, volunteer-run dance troupe and creative community bringing a little magic, mischief, and joy to Gettysburg and beyond. Best known for our costumes, hats, brooms, and spirited performances, we welcome witches of all ages, genders, abilities, and experience levels. At heart, we’re about creativity, community, friendship, and the simple joy of dancing together. 

 

We started the Gettysburg Witches’ Walk two years ago with one simple idea: walk in the Halloween parade. Then one thing led to another—and very quickly, the magic took on a life of its own! Today, we have more than 11,000 followers and around 30 active dancers, and we love collaborating with other groups and community events throughout the region, including Krampusnacht, the Gettysburg Christmas Festival, Blaze for the Brave, ParaJam, and many more. What began as one night of witchy fun has grown into a lively, creative community that keeps finding new reasons to dance.
