Celestial Events Starfall Ball™️ (Brisbane)

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 Celestial Events Fantasy Ball Brisbane, with the 2027 theme of Winter Edition Celestial Events Starfall Ball™️. This will be a night 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 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.

MEET YOUR CELESTIAL EVENTS HOST

I’m beyond excited to welcome you to this magical event!

Over the past few years, I’ve had the absolute joy of hosting more than 50 Celestial Events across Australia—from Brisbane to Sydney and Melbourne—for our ever-growing community of fantasy book lovers. We've even taken a tour group all the way to New York! With many guests returning again and again, the Celestial community is known for being incredibly welcoming—especially to new and solo attendees. We even welcomed our first Telstra Best in Business Awards as a Qld Finalist in 2025!

Before Celestial Events, I created large-scale events like Brisbane Fashion Month and Women in Fashion, but building this space for fantasy fans has truly been a dream come true.

I’ve done my best to answer all your questions below, but if I’ve missed anything, feel free to reach out. And don’t forget to join our private Facebook group here: Celestial Fantasy Events Facebook Group—it’s the perfect spot to connect, ask questions, and share in the excitement.

I can’t wait to see you at the festival—keep an eye out for my pointy ears!

CHARITY

For each event, we partner with a different charity that resonates with our attendees. For Brisbane 2027, we conducted a poll featuring various charities close to our hearts. It was a tough choice, as all the organisations are truly deserving of additional support. After careful consideration, we are proud to announce that this year we will be donating to the Beyond DV as our chosen charity.

Beyond DV supports women and children as they rebuild their lives after experiencing domestic and family violence. Their work focuses on creating safe, supportive communities and empowering survivors to move forward with strength, dignity and hope.

Their vision is simple and powerful: a world where women and children can live with gender equality and without fear of violence.

We are honoured to support the incredible work of Beyond DV and help shine a light on the important difference they make in our community.
