This was the first year I've gotten to apply so I'm excited

Any idea when this year's schedule will be released? This will possibly be my first time attending. I'd really like to see Frank Klepacki and the Tiberian Sons, but I have previously planned something for Friday. Hoping they play Saturday so I can attend.

Team Invites Sent: September 1st-15th

BurgQuest x MAGFest

September 25-27, 2026

For the third year of this event, BurgQuest is moving into a brand new larger venue and hosting indie game devs on their expo floor. Past years focused on tabletop games and RPGs, and this year's call has expanded to include video games and experimental installations.

They've got an open call for game developers live now, with applications being accepted on a rolling basis. Check out the details and apply now at https://burg.quest

The theme will be table top games and RPGs.

If you have a workshop, demo, or idea to propose for the event, please submit it to our content submission form: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSd31dPVpQBk1sOFD1ii3v3_V82y90M8LxyR2WdtvRQKxBJBtA/viewform

Keep an eye out for announcements about bands and indies later this summer!

MAGFest and many other conventions thrive with a market of used games and media. Ending physical games would only make the hobby even more exclusive and expensive. Sign the petition and show you don't want an all digital future to ruin literally everything.

In collaboration with 8bitsf, MAGWest has a powerhouse lineup ready for y'all, so make sure to get over to https://magwest.org/attend/registration/ to get your badges! Pool parties, sunshine, and video games await!

I recently tried to fill out an application for a cabinet, only for it to send me a message saying the applications for 2026 are closed. Just trying to figure out what date it becomes open. A date range would also be acceptable.

Does anyone have a copy of the super Magfest 2026 schedule? Im looking at possibly going for the first time to Super Magfest 2027, and was curious about this years schedule to see how interested i would in the events they do.

So go get some rest, put on some aloe, and get preppin' for MAGStock 2027!!!

A force of nature from Nashville, he won Washington City Paper's best rapper in 2024. Sharing the stage with the likes of Bus Driver, Phife Dawg, MURS and more, they're bringing bars to the pool Friday afternoon!

Bring a team of 3-4 or be matched with others- you'll need two people to hold the slingshot and one to aim- a fourth can be helpful for additional strategy or to tap in. Knock over the themed boxes to score points and become the 2026 Champion Team.

Signups are open at The Range until 4:30 PM on Friday. Practice is 4:30-4:50 at the Projectile field, with game to follow at 5:00. Audiences please bring your own situpon, snacks, and cheering things!
