About this Event

A Night in Ithica
May 30 | Doors Open at 5:00 PM | The Ball Concludes at 11:00 PM

Athena herself invites you beyond the threshold of legend.

Step into the halls of Ithica and celebrate the long-awaited return of Odysseus. For one evening, the home of Odysseus, Penelope, and Telemachus becomes a gathering place for heroes, muses, scholars, and storytellers. Expect an immersive night of elegant dancing, thoughtful conversation, and the living echoes of Greek mythology.

From 5:00–7:00 PM, explore a curated market featuring vendors, authors, and fan merchandise, offering treasures worthy of a hero’s journey. As the evening unfolds, the space transforms into a refined mythic ball, where stories linger in the air and every guest becomes part of the tale.

A full bar and kitchen will be open throughout the event. Please bring cash and/or card for food and drink purchases.

Costumes inspired by Greek mythology and cosplay are encouraged, though not required. Please note: this is not a toga party. Think gods, mortals, muses, warriors, and scholars rather than fraternity revels.

Tickets: $80
An evening shaped by myth, memory, and moonlight awaits.
