Nonprofit, volunteer-run FoamWar, Inc., puts on an epic, 3-day Nerf event every year called Ragnarocktoberfest. This year it's the first weekend of October with a SPY v SPY theme at Independence High School in San Jose.
FREE! ALL AGES Friday afternoon/evening, (3pm - 8pm) is a blaster expo with vendors, mini games, and panels (including a rules briefing for Saturday's game and an opportunity to get your blaster checked and approved ahead of the weekend's games).
AGES 13+, $25 Saturday (10am - 9pm) is a long-form, team-based game where players on three competing teams aim at each other and also try to avoid the undead (players trying to tag and "turn" them) while playing mini games, solving puzzles, and going on missions. Because the rule set for The Stalking Dead is complicated, it is for ages 13+.

Sunday is a 5v5 King of the Hill elimination competition in the football stadium, 9am - 8pm, AGES 15+, team slots sold out, that's really fun to watch, and across campus is AGES 6+, $20, Superstock (9:45am - 4pm), a game for ages 6+ that is perfect for families, birthday parties, and groups. Play together or against each other in short games with the weekend's theme, SPY VS SPY.
