Venue highlights

Fandom Fest 2022 is four floors of fun and excitement. Here are some of the special environments you will encounter with your festival pass.

Board Game Café
We’ve partnered with Bard and Baker in Troy to provide delicious snacks and incredible games. Take a break, have a treat, play a game!

The Arcade Arcade
Our friends at Unbeetable Café will provide an old-fashioned Arcade experience in the middle of Fandom Fest! Check back soon to see our selection of full-size Arcade games!

Movie Theatre
Visit the Addy Theatre on the 3rd floor to view one of the classic movies or TV shows playing throughout the weekend. These movies are open to all guests!

The Dragon Dungeon
Deep underground lies a treasure trove of tabletop texts, perfect for your perusal. If you were ever interested in trying out D&D, Pathfinder or Pathfinder II, grab a table full of friends, some character sheets off of the stack and one of the modules off the rack and see what all the fun is about. Tables and modules will be available for new players up to 2 hours before scheduled events in The Dragon’s Dungeon.

Beware travelers, for when events are scheduled the space transforms! It becomes a single table where players and DM do their best to delight the dragon (and audience) with their roleplaying in prestige sessions that are less out-of-the-box with thick and winding plots! Sign up information for both players and audience will be announced once our DMs have confirmed their one-shots, watch this page for more details.

Fandom Character Gallery
Visit FCG and have your photo taken with ultra-realistic characters from your favorite movies including the Terminator, Freddy Kruger, Heath Ledger’s Joker and more! (These professional photos of you and your friends will be available at an additional charge.)

Cosplay Contest
Register by Saturday at noon to be a part of our 1st Annual Cosplay Parade and Contest! With multiple categories in which to compete, show off your creativity to the entire Fest!

Esports Tournament
Sponsored by Gaming Insomniacs of Schenectady, compete in Rocket League or Smash Bros. Both brackets feature a $1,000 prize for the winning team! Space is limited so register early!

Geek’s Garage
Take a tour through some of your favorite fandoms’ most memorable vehicles in-person on the MainStage! Have your photo taken with the 1966 Batmobile and BatCycle, the Munster Koach, a life-sized Flintstone Mobile, and even the DeLorean from Back to the Future!
