The Bay Area’s best Witches Paddle is right here in the heart of Sonoma County: Petaluma’s Witches & Wizards on The Water is free to all, and brings out the best in community, creativity, and family fun. Bring your own boat or board to the turning basin or rent one of ours. Join the annual Trick-or-Treat Paddle Trail (pick up your map and cotton bag at The Floathouse dock), line up on the water at noon for the annual Costume Contest, and try your best to impress the panel of judges (they’ve been known to create categories just to reward particularly inspired costumes), or just paddle about and check out the best view of Petaluma—from the water!
