The Timeless Gala

The Timeless Gala is a New Year’s Eve celebration where community, fandom, and elegance come together. Celebrate the arrival of the New Year with an unforgettable evening of community, exceptional dining, live entertainment, dancing, and celebration.

Whether you choose elegant evening wear, fancy cosplay, or your finest geek glam, you’ll be among friends as we come together to create timeless memories. Connect with fellow geeks, fans, and community members in a welcoming and inclusive atmosphere while enjoying an evening of laughter, friendship, and festivity.

As the countdown to midnight begins, raise a glass to new beginnings and ring in the New Year surrounded by great company, unforgettable moments, and a little bit of wonder.
