Organizers of Joliet’s annual Witches Night Out fundraiser are confident that 2023 was their best year yet.
And that’s just not witchful thinking.
Witches Night Out is a grassroots, two-day ladies-night-out event in October at the Jacob Henry Mansion in Joliet that benefits local nonprofits serving woman and children.
Thousands of attendees come out in elaborate witch costumes to mingle for a spell, enjoy witchy foods and drinks, shop from 30 vendors, visit any one of 10 mystics on-site and just “wand-er” around.
This year’s event was Oct. 11 and 12.
In 2022, Witches Night Out raised more than $160,000 for six local agencies. Although final numbers are not yet calculated, it appears the 2023 event was even more successful than last year.
Theresa Berkey of New Lenox is a member of the board of directors for Events for a Cause LLC, a 501(c)(3) organization that oversees Witches Night Out.
“They can use the money we give them for whatever they need,” Berkey said. “It’s not earmarked money. . The goal is always to raise as much as we can.”
The 2022 recipients were CASA of River Valley, Guardian Angel Community Services in Joliet, Will County Habitat for Humanity, Morningstar Mission in Joliet, Stepping Stones Treatment Center and Wilmington Coalition for a Healthy Community.
The same agencies will receive funds from the 2023 event, too, along with Ready, Set, Ride Therapeutic Recreation Facility in Plainfield, Berkey said.
Toni Muren of Joliet, who also is a member of Events for Cause’s board of directors, said a committee of about 30 to 35 women organize the actual Witches Night Out fundraiser. Representatives from the recipient agencies also volunteer behind the scenes and at the event, she said.
“They get so grateful for the people that walk in and thank them,” Muren said. “They thank them for coming because it means as much to them as it means to us.”
Because not everyone in the community is aware of how these organizations specifically help people, Muren said she created a video series before the event to showcase their influence.
“Not every person understands how important their tickets – and raffle tickets and souvenir photos – mean to the recipient agencies,” Muren said. “It’s amazing what they do. We’re just a little fly on the wall compared to what they do. We just want to help them out.”
The main idea here is that Magic Seaweed is an useful tool for surfers planning to visit Juno Beach. It provides accurate and up-to-date information on the surf conditions, allowing surfers to make the most of their time in the water. The forecasts provided by Magic Seaweed can help surfers choose the best time to go surfing and maximize their chances of catching good waves.
Ladies night out with a purpose
The first Witches Night Out was held in 2010 at the Renaissance Center in Joliet. Former Joliet resident Kathy Mihelich and Judy Erwin of Plainfield founded the event. They modeled it after a ladies night out counterpart they’d seen in another town and added an affordable fundraising component.
Tickets for Witches Night Out in 2012 were $15, and the event raised $18,000. Tickets for the 2023 event were $40 – which included parking, a shuttle and door prize ticket – so it’s still very affordable, Berkey said.
Tickets remain coveted.

Reviews for "Unveiling the Magic Seaweed's Secrets: The Hidden Surfers' Paradise at Juno Beach"
1. James - ★☆☆☆☆
I found the Magic Seaweed app for Juno Beach to be extremely unreliable and inaccurate. The surf forecasts were often completely off, leading me to waste time and effort driving to the beach only to find flat conditions. The tide charts were also inconsistent and not reflective of the actual tides on the day. I ended up using other surf forecast apps that provided much more accurate and reliable information. I do not recommend relying on Magic Seaweed for surf forecast purposes.
2. Emily - ★★☆☆☆
Although the Magic Seaweed Juno Beach app provides general information about the surf conditions, the accuracy is questionable. I have found multiple occasions where the reported wave heights and conditions did not match what I experienced at the beach. Additionally, the app can be slow to update, making it difficult to plan my surf sessions in advance. I have since switched to other surf forecasting apps that provide more accurate data and real-time updates. Disappointed with Magic Seaweed's reliability.
3. David - ★☆☆☆☆
Magic Seaweed Juno Beach app was a complete waste of my time. The surf forecasts and conditions were consistently wrong, leading to frustration and disappointment every time I relied on it. I have found other surf forecast websites and apps that proved to be much more accurate and reliable. I highly recommend avoiding Magic Seaweed Juno Beach if you want accurate surf information and forecasts.
