Forgotten Coast Dancing Witches

When the music starts and the staffs rise, the Forgotten Coast Dancing Witches are already moving.

This joyful coven of local women dresses in full whimsical witchery — tall flower-crowned hats, flowing skirts, and hand-decorated staffs hung with bells, mushrooms, and moss — and dances their way through the festival like a parade that refused to stay in one place. Every performance is pure merriment: part dance, part pageant, and entirely impossible to watch without smiling.

And their magic does good long after the music fades. The Dancing Witches perform to raise money for local animal shelters, turning every twirl into food, shelter, and second chances for animals in need.

Catch the Forgotten Coast Dancing Witches dancing through the Medieval Fae Fest, November 13th–15th, 2026, in Marianna, Florida — and if their staffs ring their little bells at you, consider it an invitation to dance along.
