Witches and Wizards of Woodstock

The Woodstock Square will be transformed into a world of enchantment from noon to 4 p.m. Sunday, Oct. 24

This all-ages event features the magical talking hat, the Loyola University Quidditch squad, a fantasy-themed trivia contest, scavenger hunts, live music, games, crafts, shopping, amazing food and all manner of entertainment. It's a week before Halloween, so wear a costume and soak in the experience.

The McHenry County Historical Society & Museum is working in conjunction with the Woodstock Public Library, city of Woodstock and the Woodstock Area Chamber of Commerce & Industry to ensure everyone has a magical fall afternoon. Stop by our booth on Benton Street to play "Hide the Ghosts" and win some candy. Learn about ghostly legends in McHenry County and MCHS' "spirited" efforts to preserve the past.
