WITCHFEST is Bringing Magic & Witches to Alameda This Saturday

The Bay's best newsletter for underground events & news

This Saturday, a gathering of witches is happening in Alameda: the third annual WITCHFEST 2023. This magical event will bring together seven local Bay Area Witch shops, over 30 independent Magickal Vendors, and a multitude of Holistic and Mystical Practitioners in Alameda, California for one day only. This event will also showcase arts, tarot, entertainment, henna, and practitioner demonstrations, creating a vibrant and mystical experience for all.

Local shops include:

Sword & Rose ~ San Francisco, CA 

Feathered Outlaw ~ Alameda, CA

Mystic Flora Apothecary ~ San Mateo, CA

Aquarian Era ~ Concord, CA

Malaya Botanicals ~ Alameda, CA

Sui Generis Magicka ~ Oakland, CA

Magpie and Thorn ~ Alameda, CA

Trilogy Tattoo ~ Oakland, CA

Along with being a magic-filled gathering of witches, WITCHFEST 2023 will celebrate the Sabbat in the Wheel of the Year…Samhain. Samhain is a festival of the Dead. Meaning “Summer’s End”. Samhain is a celebration of the end of the harvest and the start of the coldest half of the year. For many, Samhain also is the beginning of the spiritual new year.

Katy has lived in The Bay Area since the age of 3. While other kids were attending summer camp & soccer practice, she was raised selling wares at craft shows with her working artist parents and spent vacations in a small 1920s Montana log cabin. This has all given her a unique perspective on the ever-changing texture of San Francisco and the Greater Bay Area. Currently a blend of all that is The Bay Area - she's a web designer at a tech-company, artist and DIY teacher.
