"Springfield’s festival of music has ended and all that’s left is the tedious hours of cleanup… just kidding! Video games have no consequences! It’s time to hang up those mics and return your townfolk back to their normal lives. But what’s next for your Springfield? Magical maladies and mayhem? A fried food feast? A clash of colliding colors? An all-town alliteration altercation? Stay tuned to find out!"
―Event teaser from Homerpalooza takedown on app stores.
"It’s the witching hour (not to be confused with happy hour), and mystifying magic and mayhem have come to Springfield! Whether you’re a witch, wizard, or whatever a warlock is, the town needs your help to fight against an evil sorcerer and his horde of magical beasts!
Use your wand finger to create your own Magic Academy and guide your townsfolk through their studies of the arcane as you strive to save Springfield from dark magic in our annual Treehouse of Horror update!
