There’s a Harry Potter festival coming to Wilbert Mcintyre Park on Friday October 13th, and you’re going to want to mark the date on your calendars. This all ages festival is a must-attend for every Harry Potter fan.
Dress as your favourite character from the books and movies, or just put on the colours of your favourite house! Take a ride on the Hogwarts Express with the giant groundskeeper, take in a film or two, and most of all be sure to take a drink of sweet, cold Butter Beer, or if you prefer, hot, spicy Pumpkin Juice! Cheer for your local Quidditch team, and watch a potions demonstration while you munch on local food truck fare so hearty and English you could have picked it up at Hogsmeade! Have your picture taken with Dumbledore in his office, then head to Diagon Alley to shop for a new wand or school robe at our market of local vendors selling licensed wares and handmade magical products and fan gear.
