Dragons & Dice Weekend

Adventure Awaits those who attend our Dragons & Dice weekend. If you love videogame RPGs, Table-tops, LARP, or just having fun, you’ll want to check this weekend out.

SATURDAY

Meet the Author: Our “Meet the Author” event is just one more reason you need a season pass as we host a different fantasy author each and every day of our show. This is your chance to:

  • Get to know the author and let them know what you enjoy most about their book(s).
  • Buy a book and have it signed. You are also welcome to bring a book you’ve already purchased.
  • Snap a selfie if there is time. Be sure to hashtag it with #ctfaire on Facebook so they can see it later.
  • Cosplay a character from their book – we encourage it!

Visit our Market page to see our list of visiting authors.

It is only $20 to participate as a popular vote judge sampling TEN 1 oz portions of entries. Judging begins at noon at the Pub Stage Building.
