Our Story
Where History, Imagination, and Healing Meet
It’s a Matter of the Heart
Fête Minuet grew from a love of 18th-century fashion, history, art, and the magic of stepping into another time. But it’s a story about more than beautiful costumes or extraordinary events. It is also a journey of discovering the healing power of creativity and the ways art can help us find joy, purpose, and connection.
Art has the ability to reach us when words cannot. It gives us a way to express ourselves, explore new possibilities, and see the world differently. Through creativity, we can transform difficult life experiences into something meaningful and discover that beauty and joy can exist alongside life’s challenges.
That spirit of transformation is at the heart of Fête Minuet.
What began with a passion for historical fashion and elegance of another era has grown into a world of immersive experiences, imaginative celebrations, and opportunities to bring people together.
From elegant historical balls and lively Renaissance faires to Carnevale-inspired sails around Winter Park, Fête Minuet invites people to step outside the ordinary and into something extraordinary. We create distinctive atmospheres through handcrafted tents, themed decor, interactive games, entertainment and experiences that awaken curiosity and imagination.
A Note from the Founder
I’m Kelley Thomas, the artist and creator behind Fête Minuet. My journey has taught me that creativity can be more than an expression of who we are; it can be a way forward, a source of healing, and a reminder that we are always capable of creating something beautiful from the experiences life brings us., even the hardest ones.
Thank you so much for being part of my journey and allowing me to be part of yours.
With imagination and gratitude,
Kelley
Founder, Fête Minuet
