Tea & Tropes Events
Fantasy Book Events
Welcome to Tea & Tropes, where fantasy enthusiasts gather to celebrate the magic of storytelling! Born from the Tea & Tropes podcast, we wanted to create a place of literature, camaraderie, and adventure for all fantasy lovers.
At our conventions, imagination knows no bounds. Whether you're a reader, an author, or simply someone who loves fantasy, you'll find yourself right at home amidst our vibrant community. From the moment you step through our doors, you'll be embraced by a warm atmosphere of acceptance and friendship.
Our events are more than just gatherings; they're celebrations of the genre, where attendees are invited to immerse themselves in a world where anything is possible. Step into our marketplaces where you can find treasures of all kinds, and even meet your favorite authors! Join us for insightful panels where authors share the secrets of their craft, or engage in lively discussions.
And when the sun sets, the festivities continue with evening activities that are nothing short of magical. Dance the night away at one of our enchanting balls, try your hand at archery and axe throwing, enjoy entertainment at the Fantasy Faire, and refresh yourself with our signature cocktails and mocktails!
So come and join us for a weekend you won't forget!
