About the Event

We are so excited to gather together with 80+ authors and vendors, including special guests Abigail Owen, Elise Kova, Jasmine Walt, Lauren Blackwood, L. Penelope, Roseanne A. Brown, and more!  See author lineup. Imaginarium Book Festival (IBF) is a book festival for all kinds of readers, where incredible worlds can be discovered and explored. Our goal is to bring together authors and readers who share a love for the fantastical. Whether you are a newcomer to the SFF and paranormal genres, or a longtime fan, you're sure to find the story that makes you feel at home. 

To learn more about our cupsleeve events, click here. The Enchanted Forest Soirée includes a European-style, all-you-can-eat brunch buffet with breads, cheeses, eggs and a selection of other items. There will be very limited gluten-free options, so if you have any food allergies/sensitivities, please consider this before purchasing a ticket. A more detailed menu will be shared at a later date. Find more information about the Soirée here.

Lit Talk seating is first-come-first-serve. Once the room is full, the doors will be closed. One Lit Talk ticket gives you access to all sessions, but you do not have to attend all. You will be given a DAY 1 Lit Talk wristband and a DAY 2 Lit Talk wristband, for one person - per ticket.

Tickets are non-refundable. All sales are final. Children 12 years and younger may attend the festival for free. Add-on tickets must be paired with a Celestial or Phantasma ticket; you cannot attend the festival with only an add-on ticket. If you would like to transfer/trade/sell your ticket(s), you must be an IBF Purple Crystal member. For details, please see the forum.
