Wizards and muggles alike will gather in Fayetteville West Virginia for Fayetteville’s Wizard Weekend January 28-30. Join us to celebrate a magical weekend as Fayetteville transforms into a magical village. This year’s festival will look different with new COVID-19 precautions. COVID -19 guidelines will be in place and must be followed including wearing masks and social distancing. The majority of activities will take place outdoors and involve walking around town to allow for more social distancing. Participants will want to check the weather before attending to dress accordingly. We suggest bundling up and being ready for cold temperatures. This year we will have more self-guided activities where groups can explore things on their own including a wizard-themed scavenger hunt through town. Stay tuned for a full schedule of events. We will have a limited number of supplies for the activities first come first serve to help us cap participation and allow us to follow social distancing guidelines.
Thank you to our sponsors!
