Star Wars fans are flocking to Melbourne for Galaxy Fest.
A hybrid of a convention and a festival, Galaxy Fest is a celebration of all things Star Wars. Fans will get up close and personal with special guests Peter Sumner, Matt Doran, Matt Rowan, Glen Sharridan, and comic book legends Tom Tylor and Colin Wilson.
With Q&A and autograph sessions, fan panels, interactive Jedi meditation, fan films and cosplaying workshops, discussion, interactive costumes and prop displays, a model building competition, kid activities and a live recording of the ‘This is not the Podcast you’re looking for’ podcast, Galaxy Fest is for fans that live and breath Star Wars.
Hosting the largest Star Wars memorabilia display that’s ever been available in Australia, you won’t want to miss out.
Convention Director, Chris Brennan says the convention scene has exploded in Australia over the past few years. “It’s a great thing, but with an inflation of the numbers you do lose that special sense of community. Galaxy Fest aims to cater for those people who want to belong to a community and not just be a number in a queue. We might not be the biggest convention, but pound-for-pound we aim to be the most interesting and personable one.”
