How many of our vendors from Year One and Year Two of Wizardfest are selling online? Please post link to your shop, page, or website below. Festival visitors have started trying to find you, and we want to help you connect with them here. This November, we may be able to work with you to create an online market to help everyone find you through the holiday season as well.
SPECIAL ANNOUNCEMENT: In celebration of the most Magical Leap Year of a generation, Ironton Wizardfest will skip this autumn’s festival and start the planning for next year! Once the year of hindsight is behind us, we shall emerge victoriously and celebrate with you like never before in the streets of Ironton in November of 2021!
NOTE from the Magical Eight: This decision wasn't made lightly and is rather heartbreaking. However, the Most Magical Leap Year cannot be denied its power to wield potential dark forces on our celebration, and following suit of other festivities - and under the counsel of the magical governments of our territory - we have decided it best to come back next year with a grand affair we can all enjoy without fearing more than a tummy ache from too much delicious food and drink!
We love you all - Visitors, Volunteers, Guests, and Vendors - you truly are the best, and we can’t wait to see you again. Expect LOTS of hugs!
Our dear friend Tyler Bailey will continue reading live this evening at 8pm. Be sure to hop over to his page and tune in!
This online festival is happening now, and has a panel tomorrow at 11am EST featuring our very wonderful guests from Wizardfest Year Two - Chris Rankin, James Payton, and Walles Hammond!

Hey Adventure Zone podcast fans! Clint McElroy will be signing The Adventure Zone books from 4-5p on Saturday about a block and a half down the street at The Vault - one of your stops on the Wizardfest scavenger hunt. Get your stamp AND meet the patriarch of the delightfully geeky McElroy Family podcast empire! This is one of three stops within a half block from each other on the scavenger hunt.
Two-time New York Times bestselling author, native Irontonian and McElroy patriarch, Clint McElroy, comes to The Vault Market on Saturday, November 9th from 4-5pm to sign copies of his graphic novels "Here There Be Gerblins" and "Murder on the Rockport Limited".

Follow the spiders... great photo by one of the Wizardfest rockstar volunteers - Apryl (Be sure to say hi to her in the Wizard’s Pub this coming Saturday and Sunday) Only 6 more days!
PLEASE READ: This has been extremely important to us this year. As you know, everyone is welcomed at Wizardfest. We didn't do a very good job last year making those with mobility challenges feel as welcomed as we would have liked while visiting our city.
This year, we put out a call for help to purchase high-quality transition ramps to get from the sidewalks to the streets, and our community REALLY stepped up - funding 6 ramps in under two hours!!!
If you have a moment, drop them a simple note and let them know they are appreciated in helping make this a reality. After Wizardfest, these ramps will all be donated to the City of Ironton for every event to use!
