"BARDS AND MORE"
Bards from all over have answered the call of the Dark Revel. Throughout the night, Patrons, Nobles, and Royalty alike will enjoy live musical performances inspired by their favorite fandoms and more. We are proud to welcome performances from the Toledo Opera and more.
"GOLDEN NEEDLE"
Are you a cosplayer who created a totally unique persona for the event? Did you sew your own ball gown? Did you craft the leather armor you are wearing? The Golden Needle is an award that may be won by anyone who has created their own attire or props. The Golden Needle Showcase welcomes everyone who is crafting their own props or attire to be featured.
This is not a cosplay contest.
"THEMED DRINKS & FOOD"
Our experienced bartending staff has brewed a unique menu of magical drinks inspired by some of our favorite books and fandoms. Throughout the ball there are various sweets offered and a staffed bar will be available. VIP guests will enjoy a curated lounge space with seating dedicated to them.
As you dance the night away at our ball, a unique assortment of themed cocktails await to delight.
