Historic Downtown Venice is trying something new this Halloween season. The first-ever Witches Walk Sip and Shop takes over the downtown streets on Friday, October 23, from 5 to 8 p.m., with more than 35 local businesses participating. The format is simple: sip a seasonal beer or cider, browse the shops, and dress as a witch if you’re in the spirit.
The evening packs in plenty beyond the shopping. Guests can join a Thriller dance, take a mini ghost tour, enter a costume contest, visit a fortune teller, or tackle a scavenger hunt. It’s a flexible night out, whether you’re coming with friends, a spouse, or the grandkids in tow.
Events like this matter to downtown merchants, who get a lively Friday evening and exposure to shoppers who might not otherwise stop in. If you want the full details, including which businesses are participating, head to visitvenicefl.org. So, are you dressing up, or just coming for the cider?
