Skye Ranch Witches Ride

The Skye Ranch Witches Ride is a dynamic fundraising event produced by Suncoast Enchanted Alliance. More than just a parade, the Skye Ranch Witches Ride is an all day family fun Fall Festival with live music, a kids zone filled with inflatables, face painting and games, a soft play toddler area for our littlest monsters, and a lively vendor’s market with everything from French croissants to handcrafted jewelry and fresh pressed juices to hand rolled cigars and more!

As the sun begins to set, the highlight of the evening is the Witches Ride parade, where women from our community, adorned in their bewitching attire, take to the streets on decorated bicycles and golf carts, tossing candy and goodies to children along the route.

This family-friendly extravaganza is designed to create an unforgettable experience while raising critical funds for worthy local charities in the Sarasota area. Each year, a local Sarasota charity is chosen by our Board to become the beneficiary charity. We hand select the charity based on the following criteria: it must be founded in Sarasota and not a chapter of a larger organization; it must have a four star rating on Charity Navigator; and it must be willing to have a presence at the event with an informational tent. In 2022, our inaugural year, we donated $6700 to the Child Protection Center of Sarasota and in 2023 we were able to donate $12,265 to SPARCC (Safe Place and Rape Crisis Center) of Sarasota. Our goal is to raise awareness and funds for nonprofit organizations in Sarasota that are creating meaningful change for the betterment of our community.
