We're having a Crow Party! What is a Crow Party? A crow party is a social event inspired by the curious nature of crows and trade small "treasures" or shiny trinkets. For this crow party, we are focusing on creativity and trinket trading! Trinket Trading : There will be a central crow nest available for you to take a crow and leave a trinket. Bring extra trinkets to trade with other people and grow your trinket collection. Crow Wisdom : Do you have a nugget of wisdom to share? Add a piece and take some wisdom written by other people. Craft Supply Swap : Clean out your craft nest! Bring your clean craft supplies to add to our supply swap table and take what you need. Activities : There will be an activity table available for you to use filled with coloring sheets, scratcher bookmarks and wooden crows to use with paint markers! (While supplies last) Optional! Dress in black with your best feather accessories and shiny jewelry. This is a FREE event, but please make a purchase from Nirvana Coffee & Games as they support our events and they appreciate our continued support.

Monthly on every fourth Wednesday

Join us at Nirvana every 2nd and 4th Wednesday of the month from 6 PM - 10 PM for Blood on the Clocktower.  Blood on the Clocktower is a social deduction party game where players take on secret roles in a town haunted by an evil demon. One player is the demon, secretly trying to kill off townsfolk, while others are villagers trying to find and execute the demon before it's too late. The game is moderated by a storyteller who guides the action and manages special powers and abilities that each role might have. It's like Werewolf or Mafia, but with more complex roles, no player elimination until the end, and lots of bluffing and strategy.  This event is limited to 20 people and is on a first come, first served basis. We hope to see you there! - https://bloodontheclocktowernirvana26.eventbrite.com

Whatever happened to bartering?! The Fae still do it all the time!

Come one, come all to the Fairy Barter Market, a magical event where you can trade old trinkets for new treasures! It's a potluck of arts and crafts, so bring anything that no longer serves you so that someone else can enjoy it!

Bring your art, handmade wares, thrifted trinkets, antiques, decor items, craft supplies and more to trade with each other and vendors at the market. This is a time to celebrate each other's creativity with the art of trade (there will also be SOME options to purchase things from these vendors you don't have anything for trade, but keep in mind that this is a trade event and no money exchange is preferred).

This is a completely free event with no money exchange among the vendors, but the business will be open for you to enjoy!

Barter Market Rules

Bartering is the main focus so bring things you're comfortable trading away, try not to bring more than what fills a (4"x6") table (you may have to split a 6ft table this time around), about a basket/milk crate worth of stuff is generally enough.

What should I bring?

People generally bring small art pieces, trinkets, jewelry, small vintage items, interesting mugs/teacups, craft supplies, metaphysical supplies, tarot decks, books, retro toys, fantasy art, clothing/costume accessories, small pottery pieces, handmade items, crystals, plant cuttings, candles, crochet, incense, trading cards/small board games, etc.
