Accio, family outing! Free butterbeer is coming to Rochester Hills this weekend

The Harry Potter Butterbeer Truck Tour is making a rare metro Detroit stop, and it’s completely free.

The traveling truck will pull into Festival Park at The Village of Rochester Hills — near Bravo Italian Kitchen and Sweetgreen — from 2-8 p.m. Friday, April 17, according to The Detroit News. And yes, it’s worth clearing your schedule for.

The pop-up is part of a limited nationwide tour celebrating the 25th anniversary of the first “Harry Potter” film, with only a handful of stops across the entire country. Metro Detroit landed one of them — which makes this a genuinely rare chance to bring a little Hogwarts magic to your Friday afternoon.

What to expect

Families can cool off with complimentary Butterbeer slushies — non-alcoholic, vegan and gluten-free — while supplies last. There’s also a themed “Harry Potter” photo experience, sweet treats, exclusive merchandise for purchase and a wizard-inspired lounge with interactive games.

Not sure what Butterbeer actually tastes like? At the “Wizarding World of Harry Potter” theme parks, the drink is made with a cream soda base, butterscotch topping and whipped cream, according to Yahoo! Think: sweet, rich and very on-brand for a magical afternoon out.

Tips for visiting with kids

The slushies are free while supplies last, so arriving earlier in the afternoon is your best bet — especially if you have little ones who won’t want to miss out. Families can also pair the experience with dinner at The Village, making it a full evening of fun. WCSX
