Adventurers, mages, rogues, and royalty – prepare yourselves! On April 18, 2026 the realms of myth and magic shall converge for a once-in-a-lifetime celebration. 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.

Join fellow heroes for a legendary day of Dungeons & Dragons campaigns, where your dice may forge kingdoms – or destroy them. Whether you’re a cunning bard, a battle-hardened paladin, or a warlock with dark secrets, your journey begins here. As twilight falls, the moon will rise on the fantasy ball – a glittering affair where enchanted gowns twirl, goblets overflow, and creatures of all realms dance to the rhythm of the music. Costumes are encouraged, magic is expected, and wonder if guaranteed!

We are excited to add a family fantasy day on Sunday to allow the entire family to experience the wonder and magic. Play D&D with your children in the morning, and then dance your hearts out and go on magical quests in the afternoon.

This is a fundraiser for animal rescues and is a 19+ event.

Be sure to join our Discord server for all the event updates and invite your friends to join you!

Your Impact

Happy’s Place is one of the rescues we love to support. They are primarily a senior dog rescue, and the majority of dogs in their care are transferred from shelters. We know that senior dogs are at a higher rate of euthanasia due to age or medical needs. They also often struggle to find families. We support Happy’s Place in the work they do to rescue these dogs and give them a full life with loving families and you will get to meet them at the ball to learn more about their work and the dogs in their care!
