Witches of the River
A Halloween paddle on the American River
Grab your broom - or, you know, your paddleboard - and join us for Witches of the River, a one-of-a-kind Halloween paddle down the American River from Sailor Bar to San Juan Rapids!
Come dressed as your favorite witch, wizard, magical creature, or whatever your little spooky heart desires. Decorate your board, bring your best witchy vibes, and paddle with us down the river.
And yes, the kids are invited too - FOR FREE! Along the way, little witches and goblins can enjoy trick-or-treating from the paddleboards.
Your $40 registration includes:
🧙♀️ A group paddle down the American River
🥪 A charcuterie lunch box from The Morning Brunch Box
🥤 A drink
🍬 Kids' trick-or-treating
🎃 A fun Halloween river adventure with other witches, wizards & creatures!
💜 A donation to To Imagine and Achieve (TIAA)
Where
Sailor Bar, Sacramento
We'll meet at Sailor Bar before heading out together for a relaxed paddle down the river.
This isn't a race. It's not a hardcore paddle. It's a come-as-you-are, have-some-fun, enjoy-the-river kind of day.
Make Your Board Magical
Deck out your paddleboard with spiderwebs, bats, broomsticks, pumpkins, ghosts - or go completely over the top. Costumes and decorated boards are encouraged!
Bring your paddleboard, paddle, life jacket, water, and your best witchy self.
