Snap a twig from a tree and call it a wand because Wizarding Out West is going to be a celebration of all things wizarding at Trail Dust Town. The magical event is happening on Sunday, March 19 from 2 – 6 p.m. at 6541 E. Tanque Verde Rd.

The event is for all aspiring wizards (and muggles) and will include multiple vendors along “Wizard Alley,” magic shows, a sorting hat experience, a potions class presented by Bookmans, butterbeer, themed food, “Care of Creatures” petting zoo with TRAK, photo opportunities galore, a magical train ride and other amusement rides, costume contest, and merriment.

Is there anything we missed? Oh, and there’s going to be a VIP lounge just for those 21 years and older. Here there will be close-up magic, tarot card reading, and special themed bar options.
