Labyrinth of Jareth, the Annual Masquerade Ball

The Labyrinth of Jareth is an annual Masquerade Ball based on Celtic Faerie and Goblin Lore.

Some of the most amazing fantasy artists, costumers and special effects crews participate in bringing a host of creatures and mythologies alive each year within the annual LOJ Masquerade.

This Masquerade is one of the few classical events open to ANYONE who has dreamed of a surrealistic fantasy fading into a single night of revelry.

Once upon a time, two rogue artists, Shawn Strider and Adam Gastelum, were musing about someday hosting a fantasy masquerade like that in the movie "Labyrinth."

Years passed and they built Sypher Publications. After dozens of adventures, several published books and a high school graduation, Strider found himself surviving a rather dark season. Searching for something to brighten his eyes, he remembered the masquerade.

The event is eagerly awaited and has grown more beautiful year after year, blessed by, and occasionally attended by the Master, Brian Froud himself.
