HISTORY
OVER 30 YEARS OF G-FANDOM
In 1994, about twenty contributors to G-FAN magazine from all over North America gathered to meet face to face in a small hotel outside Chicago. The group had such an great time that it was decided to launch a full-scale kaiju convention, and G-FEST was born. Since then, G-FEST has grown to become a “family reunion” that welcomes more than 4000 G-fans, offering a weekend of activities including filmmaking, model and costume making, video and table-top gaming, costume parades, art and model displays, contests, film festivals, and the largest kaiju-focused vendors room in the world. Make 2024 your year to join the G-Fan Family.
