Houston Potterfest: Celebrate Harry Potter's birthday at Urban South Brewery

HOUSTON - Houston Potterheads, how does a weekend of Harry Potter trivia, butterbeer, and a trip down Diagon Alley sound? I solemnly swear you don't want to miss out!

Urban South Brewery is bringing the magic in honor of Harry Potter’s birthday with their free Potterfest celebration on July 28 and 29.

On Friday, participate in a Harry Potter trivia night at 7 p.m. at the Houston taproom.

Urban South’s Butterbeer draft and slush will be available in regular and non-alcoholic pours as well as two craft cocktails.

On Saturday, head back for live entertainment, a trip through a Diagon Alley vendor market, costume contests, face painting, a divination class that would make Professor Trelawney proud, and so much more.

"We are so excited to bring the Potterfest celebration to our Houston taproom for the first time ever," said Anna Jensen, Director of Houston Operations at Urban South Brewery. "Potterfest will capture the magical charm of the Wizarding World and allow Harry Potter fans in Houston a chance to celebrate the iconic character’s birthday."
