Winter Wizarding Waltz 2018

Now in its fourth year, the Winter Wizarding Waltz has become an experience like none other, incorporating a new thematic aspect of the Harry Potter universe at each event. This years theme is: The Patronus & Dementor Masquerade Ball. Magical attire strongly encouraged.

This spellbinding soiree includes a multi-course Harry Potter-themed meal crafted by Ashley Minton of Mintons at 760, live musical entertainment, special performances by Mecca's Rakadu Dancers and Sora Contemporary Circus, along with tea leaf readings by North Star Muse.

In addition to local entertainment, the event also features Horizont Alley, a market straight out of the pages of Harry Potter, with Kentucky artisans and their handcrafted wares. This market will feature goods that you will not be able to find anywhere else!

There may be other Harry Potter events throughout the year, but there is nothing like the Winter Wizarding Waltz. Every detail from the decor to the food to the entertainment is curated by lifelong Harry Potter fans. "This year we're excited to play with themes related to good and evil which will make for a wickedly exciting evening", said Sarabeth Brownrobie, Lexpecto Patronum Headmistress.

Lexpecto Patronum is based on a spell cast by wizards in the Harry Potter universe that evokes a positive energy force. A chapter of the Harry Potter Alliance, Lexpecto Patronum works to be a force of positive energy in the Lexington community. This event raises funds for the organization, which has worked with countless community organizations throughout Lexington in the areas of racial justice, gender equity, environmental justice, lgbtqiap* equality, literacy, youth advocacy, the arts, and media reform.
