The Magical World Of Harry Potter Is Coming To This One New Jersey Town And You Won’t Want To Miss It

I'm all about making life a little more magical and have been a big Harry Potter fan for years. Always on the lookout for whimsical wizarding events in New Jersey, I was thrilled to find that the Pitman Potter Fest is quickly approaching. Tickets sold out so fast last year but they're on sale now and I won't be missing out this time. If you're interested, read on for all the details.

Back for its second year, the Pitman Potter Festival is sure to be more magical than ever. The event sounds like an absolute delight.

In addition to magical merchandise, you can expect local vendors to participate in big ways, serving up butterbeer and witch and wizard-inspired treats.

Lady Gwendolyn Bridal & Costuming will be on hand to get you all dressed up in your robes. Of course, it's the activities that really make this event shine.

A day full of family friendly fun, the schedule is set to be something like this...

You'll find a magical mix and mingle with photo ops, a defensive magical class, and life size wizard chess! Then there's a spell dueling club, magical maze, and flying broom games.

Restored Antiquity will be hosting a magic wand workshop, and you can expect other arts and crafts.

Participate in a trivia or costume contest, pick up your marauders map and get in on the scavenger hunt, find potions at vendors village, and don't forget to explore food truck alley and local shops.

The second annual Pitman Potter Festival will take place from 11 a.m. - 5 p.m. on October 20th, 2018. The first round of tickets have already been sold but there are still plenty available. Your next chance to purchase wristbands (just $5) will be from 5:30 - 7:30 p.m. at the Pitman Gallery & Art Center, 59 South Broadway, Pitman, New Jersey. Tickets will not be sold online, so get there as early as you can. Be sure to bring cash, and limit your purchase to 6 wristbands per person. Children under 3 will not need a wristband.
