Aubrey and Candice talk about how it started, what the idea of a “witch” means to them, and why the event is ultimately about creating a welcoming space where people can gather, have fun, be themselves, and spread a little joy.\nThey also discuss the Witchwalk’s downtown route, accessibility, the importance of being kind and looking out for one another, the annual after-party at the Union Club, this year’s DJs and local contributors, and some of the wonderfully unexpected ways people have participated over the years.\nPlus, there’s plenty of laughter, a few stories about the event’s early days, and an invitation to join the walk and embrace the season of the witch in Missoula.","thumbnail_url":"https://img.transistorcdn.com/aU2jrb6mbPLOKQoX_SzFAn2FbH7o4ioVX81FgoxEJfk/rs:fill:0:0:1/w:400/h:400/q:60/mb:500000/aHR0cHM6Ly9pbWct/dXBsb2FkLXByb2R1/Y3Rpb24udHJhbnNp/c3Rvci5mbS82Njg0/NjdmZTZiMjE2YWM3/YzY5ZDIzNWI4ODlm/OTlkNi5wbmc.webp","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300}
