Love Among the Pages

Love Among the Pages is an inclusive romance book convention that celebrates every kind of love story, from slow burns to steamy affairs, and every trope in between. We bring together readers, authors, and industry professionals in a space that honours diverse voices and all spice levels.

Whether you’re looking to meet your favourite authors and narrators, find your next great read, or immerse yourself in workshops and events designed to fuel your passion, Love Among the Pages is here to make it happen.

More than just a celebration of romance fiction, our event supports real-world love too, with all proceeds going toward animal rescues across Canada. Because love, whether it’s found in a book, a bond, or a forever home, deserves to be shared.

Paws and Claws Fantasy Ball

Step into a world of fantasy filled with dragons, castles, epic journeys and more as you experience the Paws and Claws Fantasy Ball: Dragons & Rings. Dress in your high fantasy attire and go on campaign with your friends as your dungeon master leads you through a game of Dungeons & Dragons during the day. Then forget all of your worries and dance the night away in your high fantasy attire or formal best at the ball with our cast, while the DJ spins magic on the decks.

This is a 19+ event.

Dorchester Pet Fest

Dorchester Pet Fest is the interactive wonderland your pets have been dreaming about! There is so much for them to experience and try that we’re sure they’ll go home happy (and probably sleep the whole ride home too). The best part? It’s all free with admission! We want you to explore and have fun with your pet. Whether your family member has fur, scales, or feathers, we’re excited to have a day just for them.

Join us at the Dorchester Fairgrounds for entertainment, shopping, food, drinks, a silent auction, and interactive fun for the whole family all in support of animal rescues!
