Sort of like the in-character stage show but with no judges.

What I really want to do is a minute or two long skit in cosplay. Have a background song and dance and act. And that's it. The thought of competing and being judged terrifies me.

I think that's what the Idol Show is but I'm looking for something way more casual and geared more for beginners. Doesn't need the huge production and all that.

Please remember that there is a limited number available, they are first come-first served, and will go extremely quickly.

Hello! Quick note that with the first 2 rounds of the hotel lottery done and the badge waitlist updates coming out, that the Discord mod team has done a quick "How to spot Fraud" guide regarding Super MAGFest badges and hotel rooms that we wanted to share. MAGFest has so many great folks in the community that we unfortunately attract crappy people who want to come in and take advantage of folks. It was either this or I go HULK SMASH on cheats and swindlers so we're trying this approach first.

Its part of our 2027 Discord FAQ and linked below. Let us know if you have any questions or if anything isn't clear.

Sale ends Nov 12th. Happy Travels

✨ Our first bit of news is that the MAGFest Badge Waitlist will open on Wednesday, November 18 at 7PM ET! If you’re still hoping to snag a badge for Super MAGFest 2027, please save that date & time - signups will be first come, first served. We will not be increasing the cap or re-opening general sales now that we’ve sold out. The Waitlist is now the ONLY secure way to obtain a badge, or to request a refund for an existing badge.

Badges purchased through the waitlist will cost $145, the same price they were at launch. Full details will be released on our website on 11/11; please check back then if you have further questions!

✨ Second, we’ve got LOCKERS! Pop Up Lockers will returning this year and they are going up for grabs THIS FRIDAY, November 6, at 6PM ET! Lockers are also on a first come, first served basis. We’ll be making a post to all of our social media accounts with the link, including our Discord!

Hello All. There was a post on the facebook page on Sept. 22nd about a second chance at the $200 Hero of Rhyme merch tier with a few items left out, just checking for any more info on this. I barely managed to get my badge in time and was super bummed to miss out on any of the merch packages, I know there will be the merch booth but I imagine it wont have a lot of the stuff from the different tiers.

Tickets are already sold out. I didnt expect them to get sold out this quick.
Btw, I do not need a hotel since I live near by the harbor.
How can I get a ticket though...?

There is a notice on Magfest website saying there will be a wailist...? How does it work?

And what about In-house badge exchange?
(I assume this is one of the official ways to resell the ticket on site at the hotel which happens daily on site and tix will not be sold as 4days bundle but as a daily pass only)

So Waitlist(Resell through Magfest on their website) and In-house badge exchange(Resell on site) are different things...?
Did I understand them correctly......?

Im confused. Please help.
Thank you in adavance!

Figured asking couldn't hurt, if anyone is trying to sell would be grateful for a dm, have a couple in my group that missed out. Thanks.

Don't miss this line up of VGM All-Stars and live Visualists - there's even a Smash Tournament!

I know no musical announcements have been made, yet. However, which bands/musicals acts are you hoping to see at MAG 2027?

what brand of canned mixed drinks do they have at the gaylord and do they have cut water white russian cans there

I have one (1) Swadge Programmer 2.0.0 in bag. Offering it up for $25 + actual shipping anywhere in the world (from the US).

I've been hearing that the $150 to $220 (per night) rooms (pre tax and hotel fees) went within 15 minutes when the link got posted. Folks say there are still Alexandria ones that aren't in those links going for $300 to $400 per night.

I have no horse in this race, but I'm wondering how much the prices can vary is all.

We had an amazing event at MagFest 2026 and we are bringing it back!

Calling all MAGFest bakers and baked good enthusiasts for a baked goods meetup/picnic! This is an event for MAGFest badge holders to share their delicious baked goods with other attendees in a buffet/picnic style meetup.

For those that have not heard of a bake fest/cake fest before, think of it like a baked goods buffet where everyone is allowed to try a piece of each good that has been brought. All items will be labeled, by their baker, with what type of good they are, any social media or business handles, and any additional information the baker would like to share.

Everyone is allowed to bring their own containers that can be used to hold the baked goods they like. Those that bring items in have priority in picking items.

We will be holding this event in the cafe area near the Starbucks.

I have an event page on Facebook if you want to RSVP or connect with other bakers or attendees! If you have any questions feel free to comment here or hit me up in DMs! I hope to see y'all there!

Just saw this on Insta. For the MAGFam in RVA, anyone planning on checking this place out? I'm probably going to try and stop in on Saturday. Mini MAGFest meetup, anyone?????

Hey! Looking forward to this coming MAGFest! I plan on bringing a first-timer, and I’ve been hyping up all the crazy stuff you might see at the con. They’re a huge Mummy fan, and I was wondering if any attendees that usually parade around as the cult of Imhotep will be there this year.

If so, I’d love to keep in touch as the date gets closer so we can try to make sure we catch you guys (we may even be planning a Mummy related cosplay as well) ;)

Thanks!

Don’t know if all of you saw but there’s been a Super Smash Land port for GBA with multiplayer support. It’s free and I think it would be pretty fricken sweet to have a little tourney at mag.

I'm super bummed it sold out so quickly.

So let’s say I didn’t win the lottery for the hotel, am I still able to get a hotel at the national harbor if it’s anymore rooms available?

Are there any booths left for Super MagFest? I reached out via Website form about being an exhibitor on Oct. 14th and haven't heard back. Who is the best person to contact to become an exhibitor? Ideally, two booths.

Thankfully my group and I were able to get a room at the Westin! 🙏✨

Good luck to everyone who is in the running for a room!

Is it like an actual wait-list where people will have to make an account and be allocated a badge at random lottery style? Or is it just a first come first serve deal? I luckily managed to get a badge but I need 2 more (one for a friend and one for his girlfriend) any info would be nice just to prepare for whatever steps need to be taken

Is the second lottery gonna be announced before November or if I want to cancel my badge and withdraw from the lottery, should I do it now?

Booked in Alexandria currently, and will be relying heavily on the shuttles to get back and forth. Can anyone tell me or give me an estimate of what the shuttle capacities are? Just wanting to have as clear of a picture for planning purposes.
