Queensbury Wizard Fest 2022Queensbury, N.Y. – The first annual Queensbury Wizard Fest 2022 will be held on Sunday, September 18, 2022, from 10 - 4 p.m. at Ridge/Jenkinsville Park.

The day will feature Quidditch Quadball games, the broomstick-riding fictional sport from the "Harry Potter" series, which has become a very popular real-life sport on college campuses around the country.  College teams participating in the Queensbury Wizard Fest 2022 include: University of Rochester, Cornell University, Vassar College, and Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute (RPI).  Volunteers from the Rochester Institute of Technology/Syracuse University mixed team will offer a “kidditch clinic” for kids of all ages to learn how to play the game. The event will feature actual Quidditch Quadball games, entertainment, vendors with wizard wares, food vendors and more.

The event is the brainchild of the Queensbury Roundtable (a group of Queensbury business owners and Town of Queensbury officials) and the Lake George Regional Convention & Visitors Bureau with the goal of positively impacting a slower tourism weekend in the fall season. 

Businesses interested in being vendors are welcome to join the event in the inaugural year for FREE.  Interested parties are asked to complete this form by Tuesday, September 6 (to be included in all promotional materials): https://form.jotform.com/222365787879073.
