Library’s Annual Fandom Fest Going Online for Quarantine Fun

​Programs include a fashion show, an at-home scavenger hunt and virtual trivia.

Due to the extended stay-at-home order and continued social-distancing recommendations to slow the spread of COVID-19, the Plainfield Public Library District had to make the sad decision to cancel this year’s Fandom Fest on April 25.

But just because we have to stay at home, doesn’t mean we can’t geek out together! So join us (virtually that is) for Fandom Fest: Quarantine Edition through April 30.

You’ll have a chance to show off your cosplay finest with our online Fashion Show, test your fandom trivia knowledge, visit a virtual Artist Alley, go on an at-home scavenger hunt with Fandom Go and more! Make sure to keep an eye on our Fandom Fest Facebook page for more fun!

What kind of fun do we have in store? Click on the links for registration and more information.
