WEST ACTON VILLAGE MERCHANTS’ ASSOCIATION EVENT
TRUES WEST BREWING CO EVENT
It’s time to summon your wizarding spirit and meet at True West for Jigsaw Jam—because who wouldn’t want to spend an evening piecing together a magical scene from the world of Harry Potter? Gather your team of up to 4 (think Harry, Hermione, Ron, and...maybe Hagrid?) and compete in an intense, Hogwarts-worthy challenge to complete a 300-piece puzzle faster than Harry catching the Golden Snitch.
There are two enchanted prizes up for grabs: one for the first team to complete the border (because true puzzle wizards know the edges are key) and another for the first to finish the whole thing—just like Dobby knitting his last sock. And don’t worry, even if you don’t win, you’ll still get to keep the puzzle and relive the magical experience.
All teams will be building the same puzzle, so it’s fair play—no tricks from Fred and George! Tickets are $45 per team, less than a Galleon but worth every Knut. So bring your friends, wands optional, and join us at True West Brewery for Jigsaw Jam. Let’s see if you’re the Hermione Granger of puzzles, or maybe a bit of a Ron Weasley!
TRUE WEST BREWING CO. EVENT
Join Inibri-Art at True West Brewing Co. anytime between 6 and 9 PM to create a beautiful work of art, that you can fill with your favorite True West beer. The cost is $25 per mug and Inebri-Art will supply all the materials you'll need to customize your drinking vessel (beer sold separately.)

Lightwork Orchestra is a collaborative duo of Mitch Rosenberg on didgeridoo, jaw harp, shruti box, and overtone singing with John McKusick playing gongs, hand pans, Indian Slide Guitar, throat singing, and a goodie bag of sacred world instruments. A Lightwork Orchestra performance is one-part sound bath, one-part live band, and one-part psychedelic projection art light show. Our sound journey begins with nature sounds that will put your mind at ease as you begin to travel alongside the didgeridoo through sonic realms of peace and tranquility and burst in and out of more focused rhythmic jams with shakers, hand pans, flutes, drums, and singing. Just then they’ll blast off into outer space with looping delays, gongs, and chimes. Gently returning you to your body in restorative bliss. https://www.instagram.com/lightworkorchestra/
