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.
With every turn and spin, sparks of mystical energy would burst from their fingertips, illuminating the night in a mesmerizing display of colors. As the dance reached its climax, the witches raised their broomsticks high above their heads, conjuring a swirling vortex of energy. The cauldron boiled over with sparks and mist, and the forest echoed with their cackling laughter. With a final flourish, the witches completed their dance and slowly came to a halt. The spell had been cast, and their power was now amplified. The air crackled with magic and anticipation as they dispersed into the night, each witch vanishing into thin air. The spooky witch dance was complete, leaving behind an ethereal glow and a lingering sense of awe. The enchanted forest returned to its peaceful state, its secrets locked away until the witches would gather again for another night of dark enchantment..
