Did You Know?
Braces, or suspenders, were almost universally worn due to the high cut of men's trousers. Belts did not become common until the 1920s. — MJ
Had it really come to this? Passing Charles Macmillan back and forth like an upright booby prize?

August 1894

WC/MCAB| REP ANY | Public Event

What: Lughnasadh Festival
Who: No real organiser - its sort of just 'happens' and wizards like watching it
Cost: No cost to watch, but cost for market stall items
Where: The Hogsmeade foreshore of the Black Lake
Why: The merfolk gather every year and race kelpie in the shallow water, wizards get to watch and make a thing of it.
When: 16th August

All day of the 16th of August and into the night Merfolk gather in the shallows and race their kelpies. Why they do this human's don't really know, just that they do it on the day of the August full moon. The humans of Hogsmeade use it as an excuse for a celebration - some local men put out from bleacher style seating, but lots of people just bring blankets or stools and picnic on the banks. Some enterprising vendors bring out food carts and sell to the watchers. Some less salubrious but equally enterprising people run betting on the event. Its fairly harmless and usually small potatoes so unless its obvious or out of hand its normally accepted.
