Calling all musical muggles and wizards! The third annual Queen City Mischief and Magic street fair and festival will magically transform Staunton, Virginia into the wondrous wizardly village of Hogsmeade the weekend of September 28-30. 

Business names change, (such as, ahem, the Heifetz Ministry of Music ) the culture changes, and food and drinks change. It’s as if our city is charmed for the weekend! But not to worry - you'll have a Mischief Map to unlock the secrets of Staunton's bewitching historic downtown using Traipse , the free app, to explore our walkable downtown while solving puzzles designed to tickle every wizard's brain... and maybe find a few treasures along the way. Fortunately, you won’t need your invisibility cloak!

And don't fail to seek out our Ministry of Music Headquarters at 107 E. Beverley Street for musical delights to charm both wizards and Muggles alike! Our friendly, knowledgeable staff will be on hand with extended hours (open 'til 9 pm Thursday, and 10 pm on Friday and Saturday!) to help you sort through the wizardly musical world of hagpipes, Dissimulators, musical saws, and more, along with more conventionally-themed musical and magical merchandise!
