Top Reasons Why GalaxyFest is the Best Fest of the Season!

GalaxyFest is my favorite way to start the con season every year!

Last year was my 2nd time at this con and I am so happy to be going back for my 3rd time in a row! It is a place for the whole family and every type of person with any sort of fantastical interest.

One of my very favorite things about it is that it is truly a gathering of all fandoms! While some may have only a steam punk, fantasy, or sci-fi theme for their con/fest, GalaxyFest has open arms for the whole lot! We are all the same deep down right? Be one with the whovians, the zombies, trekkies, ponies and Darth Vader too!

Another great attribute of this wonderful yearly event is that it is to support S.T.E.M. (Science, Technology, Engineering, Mathematics)

Dedicated to Supporting STEM, Literacy and the Arts, with the support of Space Foundation featuring real live astronauts at GalaxyFest 5. GalaxyFest supports small business and the Colorado Springs downtown as a signature event in 2016. –GalaxyFest.org

They are in it to win it, folks! It turns out you’re not going to a great event just for cosplay, shopping and experience, but you are also helping your community and the ongoing efforts to educate our communities to enrich all our lives! If you needed justification before, you’ve got it now! 🙂

GalaxyFest has so much to do and see! There are craft tables for the younger crowd, panels in every interest and genre, a kickin’ list of actors, artists and cosplayers ranging from Star Trek, Walking Dead, WWE and then some! See the complete list here!

Speaking of what to do, there is so much more than just interesting panels. There is also a Kid’s Room, Game Room, Makerspace, Theater, Zombie Crawl, Drag Show, Rocky Horror Dance, Costume Contest for kids, adults and pets… to name a few! Check out the schedule and plan your weekend now!

 It is held in downtown Colorado Springs at the Antlers Hotel this February 19th-21st. Tickets range prices from $15 for Friday Child Pass and up throughout the whole weekend! (0-5 year old kids are free!)
