The annual Witches Dance will be the highlight of Logan City’s official Center Street Hocus Pocus Witches Dance & Halloween Festival on Saturday, Oct. 29.
LOGAN — Cache Valley’s annual Halloween Witches Dance will be Saturday, Oct. 29 on Center Street in downtown Logan.
The event will be part of Logan’s official Center Street Hocus Pocus Witches Dance & Halloween Festival on Saturday evening from 4 p.m. to 10 p.m.
The Witches Dance, with dozens of local women dressed as high-fashion sorceresses, normally took place within residential neighborhoods on West Center Street.
In 2021, with the support of Logan City officials, that event moved a few blocks east to become the highlight of an evening of Halloween celebration on Center Street in the downtown area.
The day’s events will begin at 4 p.m. with a Costume Contest with prizes.
The “I Spy Quest” treasure hunt with prizes will follow at 4:30 p.m. Participants are invited to pick-up game cards at the city’s information booth.
Check-in for the “Bring Your Own Decorated Pumpkin” contest with prizes will begin at 5 p.m. at the city’s information booth, with winners to be announced at 5:30 p.m.
Snacks and meals from local food trucks will be available from 4 to 7:30 p.m.
Live music by the band “Lonely Hearts Club” will be performed from 4:30 to 6:30 p.m.
The Halloween Festival’s main event – the Logan Hocus Pocus Witches Dance – is slated at 6:30 p.m, with reprise performances at 7 and 7:30 p.m.
The local tradition of the Witches Dance began here several years ago after local women saw a viral video of a similar event in Germany.
Finally, the celebration will close with a free screening of the feature film Hocus Pocus at the Utah Theatre at 8 p.m.
