Negaunee Witches Night Out
2025-10-15 16:00 - 20:00 | MI
The Negaunee DDA is announcing their first ever Witches Night Out event to be held in Downtown Negaunee on Saturday, November 15th, from 4 pm to 8 pm. This inaugural event spurred from interested local businesses asking, “why there wasn’t a ladies’ night like other communities have”? This led to some brainstorming and creativity, resulting in Witches Night Out.
“This is a fun play on and a less traditional ladies’ night out, we wanted to be different and catchy! We didn’t want to do the same thing everyone else is doing”, City Manager Nate Hefron said.
The main events for Witches Night Out will include a scavenger hunt. Each participating business will have an “ingredient” to a potion that will need to be gathered. This encourages ladies to visit each of the participating businesses. The ingredients can then be combined into a potion that will be turned in at Strega Nonna for the chance to win the Irontown Proud gift basket. The winner will be announced after 8 pm, and the night will close out with a drag show at 8:30.
Participating businesses will have their own activities onsite for ladies to enjoy. This could include specials, discounts, games, and other fun happenings. Ladies are encouraged to dress up a bit, go as far as you would like. Maybe just a simple witches’ hat or full transformation, it’s up to you. Brooms are permitted, but parking is limited!
The DDA invites all ladies to come on out and have some fun in Irontown. Don’t forget to dress up and enjoy our social district as you gather your ingredients to have a chance to win that gift basket. To learn more about Witches Night out, please visit negauneedda.com. Your fun and adventure awaits you this November in Downtown Negaunee!
Questions concerning this release may be directed to the attention of the City Manager, Nate Heffron at (906) 475-7700 ext. 11.
