Harry Potter Costume Contest

Kick off Wizarding Week with the debut of our fully decorated Hogwarts inspired Beer Garden at Thompson Island Brewing in Rehoboth Beach. From floating candles and house banners to magical letters and wizard robes, the space will feel straight out of Hogwarts — the perfect setting for our Harry Potter Costume Contest.

From 6–8 PM, witches, wizards, and Muggles are invited to show off their best Potter-inspired looks. Dress as Harry himself, don your house robes, or bring your most creative wizarding attire for a chance to win a $100 Thompson Island Brewing gift card.

While you’re here, sip on frothy non-alcoholic Butterbeer, explore this year’s Harry Potter–themed cocktails, and dig into Great Hall–style food features like the Sorting Hat Wing Flight with four magical sauces. With prizes, themed food and drinks, and the grand reveal of the Harry Potter Beer Garden, this free, all-ages event is the perfect way to launch Wizarding Week during the Sea Witch Festival weekend.
