Waterbury Harry Potter Day brings Magic Back Downtown for it's Third Year on Friday July 30th

WATERBURY, Conn. - July 22, 2021 - PRLog -- Witches and wizards will again flood the streets of downtown Waterbury!  Activities and other offerings include fire-breathing magic performances, the Tri-Wizard Challenge and a host of tricks, treats and wizardly eats from local restaurants and other vendors.  The free family fun of daytime will give way to an evening magic show at The Mattatuck Museum suited for adult audiences.

Start your magical journey by picking up your "Magic Map" at Minuteman Press, 170 Grand Street. The Map provides a listing of all venues and their offerings such as food, drink and shows.  The Silas Bronson Library's front lawn will feature activities including fire-breathing magic shows by Waterbury native Celtic Magician Daniel Greenwolf.  Daniel's shows will be at 12 and 3, but vendors of wands, treats and other items will be on the lawn 11-4.

Host of Waterbury Harry Potter Day, Cyril the Sorcerer, will officiate the Tri-Wizard Challenge, singing of the "Waterbury Harry Potter Day Song", and offer a few magics at 2:30 pm, prior to Daniel's final show.

Adults interested in an evening event can purchase tickets for "Witchcraft and the Birth of Modern Magick" at The Mattatuck Museum. The event includes a sinister "potions and concoctions" tasting by Continuum Distilling followed by a most unusual magic show. Award winning magicians Andy Morgan, Joe Cabral & Michele Jacome have created a special evening of magick centered around the first known book of witchcraft ever written in English. The event begins at 6 PM and ends at 7:30 PM. Museum members are $10 and nonmembers are $15. Tickets can be purchased at https://www.mattmuseum.org/calendar/witchcraft-and-the-bi...  This is a 21+ event.  Tasting and cocktails will begin at 6:00 p.m. followed by the magic show presentation at 6:30 p.m. Cocktails and take-home products from Continuum Distilling will be on hand for purchase as will Fascia's Harry Potter chocolates and other snacks. This program is intended for an adult audience (21+).

Waterbury Harry Potter Day wishes to acknowledge the tremendous support from local institutions and businesses.  Eversource provided invaluable assistance via its generous Community Impact Grant to The Spirit of Waterbury.  "We're so excited to be part of this magical day, especially now that many restrictions have lifted and we can safely gather in person again," said Eversource Community Relations Specialist Hedy Ayers.
