This geektastic event will feature hilarious geeky themed competitions (introducing our new Hunt for the Holy Grail Scavenger Hunt), Special Guests ft Festival of Legends (Dragon Meet and Greet, anyone?), The Variant, Food Trucks and 50+ Geektastic Vendors selling their geektastic wares. Come out and join us for a day of fun!

Where Is This Event Taking Place? Where Do I Park? Use the address of 2930 Optimist Farm Road to navigate to our venue. Please note that there are two entrances to this venue, but you will want to enter where there is a yellow Geek and Grub sign that says ‘Enter Here’.

Where Do I Park? Once you pass through the main gate you will then proceed slowly down the gravel road (caution: it’s a two way road), past the building on the right until you reach a big grassy field. You will want to park on the left hand side. Please leave enough room behind the car in front of you to be able to exit (about 25 feet).

Where do I Check-In? When you arrive, swing by the HQ Booth (now located at the Gazebo) to find out about our scavenger hunt or get your kiddo a free goodie.
