Love Thy Gamer - Gaming Convention

Join gamers of all ages for an exciting day of tabletop gaming fun, learning, and connection! Dive into scheduled sessions of hobby board games, tabletop roleplaying games, and card games, or enjoy open gaming with old friends and new in our expansive play area.

Meet local creators and vendors working in the board game industry, and hear from professionals about the impact of gaming on fostering collaboration, creativity, and a sense of belonging.

This event isn’t just about playing games—it’s about understanding the significant role gaming plays in building community and identity, especially for kids and teens. Parents, educators, and youth leaders are especially encouraged to attend to gain valuable insights into the gaming hobby. Learn how to cultivate your own gaming club or community and explore ways to use games as tools for education, engagement, and social connection.

Food and snacks will be available for purchase. Please note, this is a no-alcohol event.

Come learn, play, and connect—because gaming is more than a hobby; it’s a gateway to building stronger communities!
