Join the Wizard’s Council

The Garfield Center for the Arts, working with wizarding fans and community volunteers, is busily planning a fun HP Festival Wizarding Weekend for October 4 and 5, 2019.

In addition to boasting media attention from newspapers, radio and television, the HP Festival attracts thousands of visitors each year, bringing a financial boost to our community while families make memories they look forward to recreating year after year! But this special weekend is a tremendous undertaking, and wouldn’t be possible without your help!

Please consider making a tax-deductible donation to the Garfield Center for the Arts in support of the Chestertown HP Festival. With a donation of $200 or more, we’ll welcome you as a member of the Wizard’s Council, a special recognition society for local businesses.

What is the Chestertown HP Festival?

The Chestertown HP Festival is a non-profit event hosted annually by the Garfield Center for the Arts. The natural charm of Chestertown is bolstered by themed participation from our community, transforming our streets into a magical escape for families and bringing more patrons into our shops.

The Chestertown HP Festival’s Wizarding Weekend is organized by the Garfield Center for the Arts and community volunteers as a celebration of the spirit of Harry Potter and an opportunity to promote our local community and its arts. Warner Bros. Entertainment and JK Rowling are not associated with or responsible for the festival in any way.

Warner Bros. Entertainment and JK Rowling are not associated with or responsible for the festival in any way-and we hope they won’t send us to Azkaban for expressing our enthusiasm!
