As writing and book lovers, we are so delighted the Fae Ball will be held again in Fond du Lac this year at Thelma Sadoff Center for the Arts! Will you be in town early? Interested in nerding out about fae books? Or maybe you can’t make it to the Fae Ball the next day but still would like some bookish community. Perhaps you’re a bit of an introvert and would prefer a smaller meet-and-greet before the big party! Whatever your reason for seeking a Friday night book party before the big Fae Ball, we’re here for you at Lake Literary Center. Join us on Friday, November 14 from 5:30 - 7:30 PM at Lake Lit for snacks, beverages, costume prep, and fae book talk in a glittering, fae-enchanted, cozy space.

We’re sure you’ve heard of Sarah J. Maas’s A Court of Thorns and Roses series, but have you read anything by Lexi Ryan? Sasha Peyton Smith? Julie Kagawa? Karen Marie Moning? Holly Black? Whether you’re a full-fledged fae fiction fan or simply dabble in faerie reads, we’ll have plenty to talk about at Lake Lit.

Keep an eye out for more details on vendors that will be at this event, from fae wing-making to crowns! Limited to 30 fae fans.

Join us after the Fae Ball magic for a delectable brunch! Your ticket includes a specially decorated room at the stunning Cellar District space as a continuation of the Fae Ball experience, brunch buffet, faerie mimosa or mock-mosa, coffee, a special brunch swag bag, and a coupon for a discounted creative writing workshop at the area's buzziest literary third place -- Lake Literary Center.

Presented by Lake Literary Center in partnership with Cellar District. 

Limited to 30 brunch guests! Get your tickets now! $60 for early bird tickets until November 9, 2025, $75 for tickets purchased November 10 through November 16, 2025.
