The 2021 World Fantasy Awards Banquet will take place on Sunday, November 7, at this year's World Fantasy Convention! The doors will open at 12:45 pm, and the banquet will be served promptly at 1 pm. To attend the World Fantasy Awards Banquet, you must be an attending member of the convention. Seating and tickets are limited.
The Awards Ceremony will begin after desserts have been served; the doors will be opened to everyone not participating in the Banquet. We expect that to be 2:15, with the Awards Ceremony beginning at 2:30 PM.
The banquet will consist of one appetizer, one main course (from a selection of three), a dessert, and a coffee/tea service. A cash bar will also be available. Some bottles of wine may be pre-ordered; the available selections pair well with the meal.
