May’s First Friday: Magic of the Square
Friday, May 5th | 5-9 pm
Get ready to don your Hogwarts robes and wave your wands, because the Noblesville Main Street First Friday event, “Magic of the Square,” on Friday, May 5th, 2023, is going to be a spellbinding celebration straight out of the wizarding world of Harry Potter! The historic downtown square of Noblesville, Indiana will be transformed into a magical realm, where you can immerse yourself in the enchanting performances of musicians who might just have a little “magic” up their sleeves. Clever street magicians will leave you scratching your head in amazement as they perform their own brand of wizardry. And of course, our downtown restaurants will be serving up delicious treats that even Mrs. Weasley would approve of! The streets will be lit with a whimsical glow, reminiscent of Diagon Alley, creating an atmosphere straight out of the beloved books. So grab your fellow Potterheads, dust off your broomsticks, and come experience the “Magic of the Square” at Noblesville Main Street First Friday on May 5th, 2023. Accio fun!
