Wizarding Weekend On Magical Main

Muggles and Wizards rejoice! The 4th Annual Wizarding Weekend has been rescheduled to fly into Old Ellicott City on October 8 & 9. Expect the return of the things you love – a scavenger hunt, a costume contest, live music and Potter inspired mischief and magical treats all over town.

The grand prize winner, that receives a basket full of Harry Potter and OEC treasures, will be announced at day’s end on Sunday. Your $5 hunt fee goes directly to the Maryland Chapter of the National Federation of the Blind.
Don your favorite wizard, witch or muggle garb and be a part of the costume contest that continues throughout the weekend. Make sure to stop by and register in Lot D. Trophies will be awarded on Sunday at the Little Market Cafe stage in Lot D to the top three contestants.
