For 2026, CHWA is making big moves to create its annual Practically Magic even more engaging and fantastical! In addition to the Torchlight Parade, the Great Pumpkin Race, and Practical Magic movie nights, we will be hosting guided tours every Saturday from September 12 through October 24. During these tours, guests will be led deep into the lore of witchcraft and the spooky history of
Coupeville’s Hollywood famous downtown waterfront.

This is where you come in! We are looking for passionate folks to be our tour guides! Do you live for Practical Magic? Fancy yourself a witch? Share your love for the season with others! And, get paid for it?!

The wait is over! Bold, Briny & Blue!

Announcing the 2027 Musselfest poster contest finalist and winning poster artwork!

A big congratulations to our winner Chelsea Wirtz for such a beautiful art work! You can find more of her work on her Instagram and on her website chelseawirtz.com.

We are also so grateful for this year’s 86 entries from 21 different countries ! All entries were so unique and beautiful pieces of art. Choosing one finalist was an extraordinarily difficult decision for both the CHWA Promotions Committee and the CHWA Board. We look forward to finding ways to help promote all of the participating artists in the near future as well!

Thank you to all of the talented artists who participated!
