Once Upon a Con

GET READY TO FALL INTO FANTASY

GET READY TO FALL INTO FANTASY

Something for everyone

more than just an event

Welcome to Once Upon A Con! For the first time ever, we are bringing together over 150 hours of fan driven content, cosplay, dance parties, panels, workshops, and authors all under one roof. Born from the need to have more than just a one night escape with bookish friends that left us in post-ball withdrawal, the need for a fully immersive ball surrounded by everything you want out of a weekend getaway.

So, from our bookish loving family to you, we welcome you to Fall Into Fantasy with us in August of 2025.

Let Go

Dance the night away

Join us Friday evening for our night club at Rita’s! The club vibe not your style? Don your favorite ball gown and attend our masked ball Saturday night. Learn to ballroom dance Saturday afternoon with our classically trained ballroom dancers!

VIP

that’s worth it

Want the premier experience? Front of line? Reserved seating for main events? Private dinner with our inner circle? What about a curated VIP swag bag with goodies from our vendors? How about early access to the marketplace before it opens to the public?

Join us Thursday night for a private VIP event kicking off the convention!
