The Editor

The Game Fest is the pop culture event of the season around here, with tons of merch booths, fan art, goodies galore… but most importantly, a lineup that promises you won’t be bored for a second. The festival runs from 10 AM to 6 PM both days. You’ll see fans dressed as Jedi Knights, manga lovers showcasing their cosplay, laser sword pros… (yes, it’s allowed!). On the agenda: cosplay contests, conferences, signing sessions, workshops, an XXL escape game, role-playing games, murder parties, lightsaber initiation… and even “geek hypnosis” (we all want to see that).

Highlights You Don't Want to Miss

On the musical side, it’s going to swing: Meg A Wish will perform a Disney concert, while Jean-Marc Anthony Kabeya will take fans on a Pokémon concert adventure. On top of that, there’ll be a K-Pop Contest Show for budding dancers, airsoft target practice, and a mix of exciting and surprising activities. As for special guests, the festival has already confirmed a few names: Donald Reignoux will be there for autographs. Several speakers, some appearing for just one day, will liven up the weekend (don’t forget to check the schedule for each day).

Helpful tip: plan your schedule ahead because the events often overlap. And wear comfortable shoes, you’ll be doing a lot of walking between the booths!
