Throne of Starlight Ball 2026 NJ
The grandest night of the year has arrived—the Throne of Starlight Ball, where the realms of Fae gather in a celebration of opulence, power, and hidden desires. Each year, the ball marks the peak of the Fae Queen’s reign over the Night Court, a magical domain where starlight and shadows intertwine, where light and dark share their secret dance. This is a night where the delicate threads of fate are woven, alliances forged, and rivalries simmer beneath the elegant facades. But beneath the beauty, tensions rise, and the true nature of the night becomes clear.
The Queen’s throne is unclaimed, its starlight flickering. The throne holds not just power, but the heart of the realm itself, and only the strongest of Fae can hope to sit upon it. As the night deepens, the Queen’s power begins to wane. The throne grows colder, and only one Fae can claim it before dawn.
Will you become the next ruler of the Night Court, or will your dreams of power be dashed by those who play the game better? The ball begins. The fate of the Night Court rests in your hands. Choose your path ✨

“My happiest memories are at these events!!! Whether you religiously read fantasy books or just love the aesthetic of fairytales, the venues, decor, and music will have you absolutely swooning. It’s impossible to not take a million photos despite there being incredible & expert photographers that send you the most beautiful pictures soon after the event! I ALWAYS make sure to vlog since there’s so much to do and look at, and the amount of detail is so incredible that I find myself noticing new things while looking back on the videos. Each event is decorated to its fullest potential, and it never fails to fill our vacations with amazing memories. I cant WAIT to attend another one!”
