The Resort at Glade Springs announces the return of a weekend of spellbinding adventure this Labor Day weekend with its second annual “Wizarding Weekend” attraction. This family event, scheduled for Friday, August 30 and Saturday, August 31, 2019 is dedicated to capturing the spirit of magic and enchantment as portrayed in recent iconic hit motion pictures and bestselling novels. Guests will be organized into Orders of Enchantment on their arrival, and the weekend will be filled with activities such as Potions Class, Quidditch Practice with WVU’s Quidditch team, Scavenger Hunts, Trivia, specialty drinks at an Elixir Bar and more, topped by a magnificentWizard’s Feast on Saturday evening, followed by a race for the Wizard’s Cup. Books-A-Million stores across multiple states are partnering with Wizarding Weekend to give away one free overnight package to the event. Aspiring wizards can enter by visiting their local Books-A-Million store.
“Wizarding events have been a hit all over the United States and around the world in recent years,” explains Ashley Long, Creative Director at the Resort. “Last year we organized West Virginia’s first Wizarding festival, and we look forward to welcoming guests from not just our area but from all over the country to participate again this year. We encourage everybody, young and old, to dress in their favorite wizarding costumes, as cosplay will be a big part of Wizarding Weekend, although it is not a requirement to join the fun. Being in costume will add to the atmosphere making mixing and socializing with other Wizards, Witches and magical creatures a lot more fun! ”
