✨A Magical Day in Occoquan✨ Next event 3/7 | Bi-annual Fantasy Interactive Event, celebrating local business, artists, authors, and makers https://linktr.ee/swordsbroomsandmagicalbeasts
Swords Brooms & Magical Beasts in its 3rd year as a bi-annual event celebrating the magic of the historic town of Occoquan, VA. Currently, we are teaming up with 23+ local businesses all offering unique experiences in theme. 3 of these businesses are hosting markets inside their establishments.
We now have 3 market spaces, including an outdoor space, a dedicated space for authors, comics, and zine creators. ✨
We're planning a scavenger hunt leading folks into market spaces, and a really cool map that will be handed out to all patrons showing the location and times of all vendor markets.
