    Prepare to be enchanted by Chestnut Hill at the Witches & Wizards Weekend!

     

    The festival brings a new fall tradition that mixes one-part spooky thrills, one-part ghosts of wizards-past and one-part family fun for an action-packed weekend in charming Chestnut Hill. Taking over Germantown Avenue, Witches & Wizards Weekend will be jam packed with family friendly activity like costume contests, craft activities and more.

     

    The festival begins on Friday, October 19, with the Brews & Broomsticks Pub Crawl. Participants can enjoy food & drink specials from 7:00 p.m.-10:00 p.m. at ten participating bars, two outdoor beer gardens as well as live performances, fortune tellers and a live demonstration from The Franklin Institute.

     

    The festival continues on Saturday, October 20, with Witches & Wizards Day, a day of all-ages fun. The Philadelphia Brotherly Love Cup Quidditch Tournament returns for its ninth year, where festival-goers can head to Chestnut Hill College to watch teams from visiting colleges and the local community team competing in round-robin style Quidditch matches.

     

    Along the avenue, you can enjoy other activities such as the Woodmere Art Museum's straw maze and other exciting activities like harvest hayrides, live demonstrations and a costume contest.
