Beware, ye mortals — the coven is coming to Swantown Marina, Olympia, WA.
The Coven Grows: SUP Witches of Oly x PNW Market & Event Co 🧹🎃
The cauldron is bubbling with big news — SUP Witches of Oly - is beyond excited to be partnering with PNW Market & Event Co. and Tempo Sauna this year! Brewing up something even more magical for our beloved paddle! Last year's gathering was pure enchantment, with a turnout that exceeded our wildest spells. So this year, we're conjuring something bigger: a full-blown festival for the whole coven — witches ready to hit the water, and muggles and mortals who just want to soak up the magic from the shore. Whether you're here to paddle, parade, or simply watch the mist rise over Budd Inlet, there's a spot for you in this year's gathering. Stay tuned as we continue stirring the pot and building out this year's activities — more magic is on the way. SAVE THE DATE 🔮 October 10, 2026 | Swantown Marina | The coven awaits.
