Wizarding World of Waynesville

Wands at the ready!  The Wizarding World of Waynesville returns to downtown Waynesville, inviting visitors of all ages to step into a day filled with magic, imagination, and small town charm.

Local merchants join in the fun with creative displays, specialty treats, and interactive moments that make the day feel truly immersive.

Families, friends, and devoted fans alike will enjoy exploring the participating shops, collecting magical treasures, and experiencing the kind of community celebration that has become a signature of Downtown Waynesville events.

Wizarding attire is encouraged, and visitors are invited to fully embrace the spirit of the day. Whether you arrive in robes or simply with a sense of adventure, there is something waiting to be discovered around every corner.

Come wander. Discover a little magic. Experience the Wizarding World of Waynesville.
