October 13: Festival of Witchcraft and Wizardry (FREE event for all ages!)
Details: “Come Friday the 13th, follow the Spiders to the Princess Theatre and Wilbert McIntyre Park (AKA Gazebo Park) and Edmonton Streetcar for an evening of all things magical! 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.
All ages welcome. Note the films are both rated PG for scary scenes. Children under 12 must be accompanied by an adult on the Hogwarts Express train. All passengers must have pass to ride.” – See the events page for more info here
Book a Harry Potter themed kids birthday Party at MudPie Parties – very detailed theme, so much fun for the kids (and the adults!)
Watch for YEG date night/Social Hour YEG events, they recently had a Harry Potter Trivia night, hoping they do something Harry Potter themed again soon!
All of these events are cosplay friendly! Get your Hogwarts robes, ties, scarves, backpacks, etc. locally at Mishi’s Corner!
