🕯️ THE CURIOUS HIPPO GRAND OPENING WEEKEND 🕯️
August 28–30 • Historic Downtown Hutto
The doors are opening, the candles are lit, and Wonder Awaits Within.
Join us for three delightfully strange days as we officially celebrate the Grand Opening of The Curious Hippo — a new home for curiosities, art, books, oddities, locally made goods, candlelight, community and a touch of the unexpected in historic downtown Hutto.
And because an ordinary Grand Opening simply would not do…
🔮 WE’RE THROWING A 90’S WITCH WEEKEND.
Come dressed for the occasion, don your favorite witch hat, bring your broom if you’ve got one, and spend the weekend wandering, shopping, creating, watching, sipping and making a little magic with us.
✨ HAPPENING THROUGHOUT THE WEEKEND:
🎬 90’s Witch Candlelight Cinema
Hocus Pocus • Halloweentown • Practical Magic • The Craft
Plus free movie-style popcorn!
🫖 The Raven Queen’s Gothic Tea Party
An intimate two-hour gathering of glittering teas, light fare, gifts, magic and mischief.

Come curious. Come witchy. Come exactly as you are.
Bring your friends. Dress up if the spirit moves you. Take a photograph. Get a tattoo. Make something. Have your cards read. Watch an old favorite by candlelight. Drink something lovely. Find something peculiar to take home.
Most of all, come help us celebrate the beginning of this strange little place we’ve built in the heart of Hutto.
