A Sample of Saturday Magic
Throughout the day, discover experiences as varied as a wizard’s spellbook. Get A Taste of the Markets at this special edition of the Lancaster Farmers Market, then step into a fully enchanted world at the Fairfield County District Library’s main branch, where dark magic has trapped a reader in the world of fantasy. Brave realms like Mordor, The Forbidden Forest, and the Court of the Red Queen as you navigate a self-led scavenger hunt, snap selfies at fantastical photo stations, and encounter costumed characters around every corner. Sink your teeth into something delectable from enchanted menus at local restaurants serving up themed bites and brews, and watch as businesses across the county transform into destinations brimming with whimsy. As with all Wands & Wizards events, costumes are encouraged—let your imagination guide you through the magic.
