Stay tuned for more details!
The Gala is included in the full convention GOLD, CAPTAIN’S CHAIR or COPPER packages, keeping your same great seats! For everyone else, you can still attend the Gala by purchasing an a la carte ticket. Convention passes are not required to attend the Gala.
Note: The Gala ticket does not include admission to the convention.
SUNDAY NIGHT’S RAT PACK PERFORMANCE
Years ago a fan wrote us and said we should end our convention with an upbeat event, so we took that suggestion to heart and created the Rat Pack tradition we now all look forward to. This hilarious show travels back to the 1950s with our stars performing their version of the iconic Rat Pack, including song parodies written by ultra-talented Max Grodenchik. Along with Max, the Rat Pack also includes Jeffrey Combs, Casey Biggs, Ethan Phillips, Bill Burchell and Vaughn Armstrong. The event takes place after the conclusion of the convention on SUNDAY and is free to all attendees. Gold, Captains Chair and Copper patrons will retain their same seats.
KARAOKE PARTIES
On THURSDAY NIGHT, join Connor Trinneer and Dominic Keating for an awesome night of karaoke fun!
On FRIDAY NIGHT, there will also be another fun-filled Karaoke Party, hosted by Anthony Montgomery. Guests are subject to change.

MORE ABOUT KAVITA MAHARAJ CLICK HERE!
Kavita is a prolific fine artist who has become internationally known for her Spock Painting Series, based upon The Original Series. For more on this series, see here. Her work has expanded through the Trek universe to include both characters and ships from a variety of Trek iterations (such as TOS, TNG, DS9, Voyager, Discovery etc.). All of Kavita’s pieces are officially licensed by Paramount as Star Trek™ Kavita works primarily in the medium of acrylic paint on canvass, but remains ever responsive to the evolving expression of each piece. To this end, she frequently incorporates a variety of mediums such as graphite, watercolour pencils, acrylic inks and markers, into her pieces. Kavita has a genuine passion for drawing that is immediately evident within her pieces. This passion, supported by her acute ability to observe, forms the basis of her skill in achieving arresting likenesses and expressiveness for her subjects. Driven by her fascination with geometric pattern, color theory, philosophy and causation, Kavita’s works are a conversation between artist and viewer that invokes internal contemplation regarding ‘self’ and one’s personal life journey. A philosopher at heart, depth of meaning and the cultivation of wisdom is an important focus of Kavita’s works. Her color-handling is inspired by an acute interest in what she perceives beneath the visually obvious surface of things. As such, viewers are often presented with unexpected gifts upon closer examination of her work. Kavita has been a producing artist for almost 30 years and has participated in several solo and group art shows along the way. She currently resides on Vancouver Island, British Columbia, Canada, with her husband, Daniel and their dog, Azul. She has an honours Bachelor’s degree in Fine Art (Bfa) from Queen’s University, Kingston, Ontario, majoring in print making. “Every piece is an exploration onto itself. And to that end, each piece demands its own consideration regarding mark-making, medium, and approach.” – Kavita Maharaj
