The Storyteller’s Cottage will host a unique Midsummer Night Fantasy Ball on Saturday, June 29 from 8:00 -10:00 pm in the Steampunk Library of The Storyteller’s Cottage. Tickets are $25.

You’re invited to celebrate a beautiful Midsummer Night with a fantastical costume ball! Whether you're an ethereal fairy, a mysterious steampunk adventurer, a mythological elf, an elegant Regency baroness or a dastardly pirate, come dressed in your favorite fantasy ensemble and enjoy the company of a dapper and disparate group of fascinating fellows.

Our magical Victorian house will set the stage for an array of enchanting festive activities. Take a perfectly staged photo of yourself and your friends in a precisely decorated, immersive fantasy room that complements your character (choose from our Steampunk Library, Medieval Castle, Fairy Forest, Magical Common Room, Regency Salon and more). Mix magical potions into delicious cocktails (both virgin and not) in our Elixir Laboratory. Make otherworldly potion necklaces, delicate floral crowns, gear-strewn bracelets and more at our Clever Crafting Stations. Taste mysterious and indescribably delicious tidbits from all of the fantasy realms, from delicate fairy cakes to Victorian steampunk molecular gastronomy. Enhance your glorious garb with professional face painting and body painting. Meet and mingle with old and new friends, all of whom hold nerdy literary cosplay in high esteem. This immersive event will be a night to remember!
