Wrock for Darfur!

Wrock for Darfur – an all-day Harry Potter-themed festival organized to raise awareness about the genocide in Darfur – will be held from noon to 9 PM this Saturday at Waryas Park in Poughkeepsie. This wonderful collaboration by a small group of teenagers will feature a massive wizard rock concert, vendors, food, games, and even an elaborate Horcrux Hunt!

And the best part is, all proceeds will go directly into purchasing school supplies for Darfuri refugees as well as civilian protection in Darfur. Read more at the link below!

Two of the Wrock for Darfur organizers spoke during the HP Alliance’s most recent Potterwatch podcast episode, which you can download on iTunes or listen to directly. The festival was also covered in the latest Straight from the Dinah Saur’s Mouth column on Wizrocklopedia.

These absolutely amazing girls (who are part of a STAND and Harry Potter Alliance chapter) have been working around the clock all year to make the event successful; please check out this article for more information and consider attending!
