2017 marks the 20 Year Anniversary since Harry Potter and the Philosophers Stone was first published. Whether you read it 20 years ago or you are just reading it for the first time, celebration is in order!
To commemorate this momentous occasion, The Harry Potter Festival will be hitting the road. We will be participating in the Sugar House Farmers Market (http://www.sugarhousefarmersmarket.org/) on Wednesday evenings from 5:00 to 8:00 PM and the 9th West Farmers Market (https://9thwestfarmersmarket.org/) on Sunday mornings from 10:00 AM to 2:00 PM. Every week we will introduce a new craft and activity that coincides with this beloved book.
In addition to a weekly craft, our booth features treats, decor, clothing and accessories. Nothing is priced over $15 and crafts are never more than $5. And the best part is, a portion of the proceeds are donated to Project Amigo (http://www.projectamigo.org/) and their literacy week!
Witches and wizards of all ages are invited to participate. Let's have fun for a good cause!
