Celestial Events Australia create unique events taking inspiration from some of our favourite authors, including Sarah J Maas and Rebecca Yarros.
​
Dress as your favourite character and join us for immersive experiences with unforgettable events, bookish fun, and new best friends.

Celestial Events are non-licensed, non-official, fan-based events where we worship our favourite authors and get to dress up and try and relive our fantasy moments together.​

Join us as we try to bring literature into reality, where new friends meet and pages come alive.

Join us for an enchanting evening at the Melbourne Ball, where you can step into the pages of your favourite books and immerse yourself in a world of fantasy, magic, and wonder. Unlike other balls … this is the one where universes collide and no matter what fantasy fiction work you prefer you can dress as your favourite character.

This extraordinary inaugural event is designed to bring book lovers together, creating an unforgettable experience filled with entertainment, surprises, and the opportunity to make new friends who share your passion for literature.
