Calling all witches, wizards, and magical creatures! A little bit of wizarding magic is returning to Leesburg this September when Fabbioli Cellars hosts its 5th Annual Diagon Alley Market.
The free, family-friendly event takes place September 12 and 13 from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. and will transform Fabbioli Cellars into a weekend filled with wizard-inspired shopping, activities, food, drinks, photo opportunities, and plenty of fun for both kids and adults.
Explore the Diagon Alley Market
More than 20 wizarding world vendors are expected to participate in this year's market, giving families the chance to browse magical finds while exploring the grounds.
But shopping is only part of the adventure.
Kids can add a little extra magic to their visit with face painting and fairy hair, meet live birds, visit themed photo areas, and take part in a special kid-friendly scavenger hunt.
Families visiting on Sunday will also have the chance to see alpacas. And don't forget to take plenty of pictures. Wizard robes, house colors, wands, and other magical attire certainly wouldn't be out of place at Diagon Alley!
There's Fun for the Grown-Ups Too
This isn't an event that's just for the kids.
Fabbioli Cellars will offer special wine pairings and themed house drinks, including both alcoholic and nonalcoholic options. Adults can even take on their own version of the scavenger hunt while the younger witches and wizards complete theirs.
Food trucks will be on-site throughout the weekend, making it easy to turn your visit into a full afternoon outing.
The event will also feature raffle baskets and additional activities and surprises throughout the weekend.
