✨ The Festival of Magic 2025 ✨
July 25–27 | Multiple Locations | Tickets Cover All 3 Days!

The Festival of Magic is back and more enchanting than ever! This year, your ticket grants you access to all three days of spellbinding fun—so you can take your time, enjoy every magical moment, and fully immerse yourself in the wizarding world without feeling rushed.

We've conjured up even more experiences and interactive elements in 2025 to make your adventure even more immersive and unforgettable. Whether you're a seasoned spellcaster or a curious muggle, there's something magical waiting for you around every corner.

🍷 Running Vines Winery and 🍎 Aftermath Cidery return as headliners, offering themed drinks and magical moments throughout the festival.

🗺️ Each guest receives a Carouser’s Map, inspired by the mischievous map we all know and love. It includes the full festival schedule, rules, and a guide to all participating locations. Collect stamps or complete photo challenges at each stop to earn a special prize—a Festival of Magic canvas tote bag to carry all your wares and wands!

🛍️ Explore Nocturn Alley, our magical marketplace brimming with mystical vendors and unique finds. Discover enchanted items at KK’s Magical Menagerie and other specialty shops—perfect for picking out your wand, robes, or next potion ingredient.

🧪 Potions Class returns with Professor Ambrosius Flint and the team from Sawdust and Splatters! For an additional fee, you’ll get hands-on instruction in brewing your own magical mixture.

🌱 Get your gloves on in the Screaming Mandrakes Class, hosted by The Willow Shop—a lively (and loud!) hands-on workshop where you’ll learn to pot and care for these curious magical plants.

🧘‍♂️ Step into the Defense Against the Dark Arts Class at James O’Connor Martial Arts Zen Den. Learn basic self-defense techniques and magical combat maneuvers to protect yourself from dark forces—no prior spellcasting experience required!
