Welcome to KC Nerd Fest

Brought to you by KC Book Beat and powered by local favorites Game Café and Pulp Fiction Comics, KC Nerd Fest brings fandom to the heart of the community. From comics and tabletop games to indie authors, cosplay, and collectibles, this event is your chance to geek out without judgment.

✨ Family Nerd Time: 2–5 PM
🌌 Grown-Up Geek Vibes: 5–9 PM

$1 entry. Come as you are—or as your favorite character.

Admission is just $1, but if you’ve got a few more galactic credits to spare, donations are deeply appreciated.

Every dollar beyond entry helps support local authors, artists, and creatives who make our nerdy little world go ‘round. So toss in a bit extra if you can, and feel good knowing you helped a local nerd reach their dreams!

🌧️ Weather
The show goes on rain or shine. Dress appropriately for outdoor areas unless you’re a wizard, in which case please only cast spells for nice weather. This is an indoor/outdoor event.

Tickets are nonrefundable. All proceeds go to KC Book Beat, a 501c3 nonprofit that supports local authors, businesses, and creators.
