The Weekend of Wonder is your “golden ticket into the world of pure imagination, perfect for children, families and everyone who loves magic,” according to a press release. The event begins at the Asheville Community Theatre, where the main performances will take place. The magic will then spread out into the streets where “a dream team of master magicians will appear at over a dozen venues in a dazzling showcase of close-up, stage and street magic, one-man shows, lectures, workshops and all-star galas.” The Weekend of Wonder takes place Friday through Sunday, May 2-4. Tickets start at $10 for individual shows with some free offerings. Weekend passes are $150 adults/$100 kids.  weekendofwonder.com/asheville. Photo courtesy of Jay Scott Barry
