COMICS & POP CULTURE ALL AGES
Saturday, August 19 11am - 3pm
Welcome! Thank you for attending the Niles-Maine District Library’s first-ever Fandom Fest! This brochure is your guide to everything that’s happening throughout the Library for kids, teens, and kids-at-heart (aka Adults)! Get a photo snapped with Chicago’s very own Svengoolie, visit the Artist Alley, or test your Buffy trivia knowledge. The activities are endless!
Cosplay Guidelines Cosplay or “costume play” is welcome and encouraged at Fandom Fest! We ask that attendees follow these costume guidelines: No realistic weapons. There will be a weapons check, which means no real weaponry. Prop weapons that are approved will be tagged as such. No sharp edges or projectiles (which means no Nerf bullets) will be allowed. The Weapon’s Checkpoint will be located in the Vestibule and open at 10am. Cosplay is not consent. If you would like to take a photo with a presenter or Fandom Fest attendee, always ask first and respect that person’s right to say no. Please report any issues that occur to a staff member with a Fandom Fest lanyard.
