MEGGAXP 2026

Michigan’s Entertainment, Gaming, Geek and Arts Experience is BACK for MeggaXP 2026!!! After a 6 year hiatus, we brought MeggaXP back in 2025 for our 10 year anniversary, and we are running it back again for 2026!!!

What is MeggaXP?
MeggaXP is a celebration of all things entertainment, gaming, geek and arts! It’s like a “comic-con” of sorts, except we offer WAY more to do than most cons. We are a completely different EXPERIENCE – hence the name.

What can I do at MeggaXP?
You can do all kinds of things. For starters, there is a vendor room with over 50 vendors setup selling you anything and everything from the world of pop culture. Original art, books, collectibles, toys, models, jewelry, movies, posters, you name it – if it’s pop culture related, it’s there! On top of that, we have huge gaming rooms filled with tons of free to play video games, board games, card games, and more! We also have a cosplay contest at 3pm, and tons of live action game shows going throughout the day! Our event schedule will be posted as time goes on, but know that in the past we have done things like Name That Tune, Geekly Feud, Jeopardy, Star Wars Trivia, Surviving the Line, A Room Divided, and tons more! The best part? ALL of the experiences during the regular show hours are included for ONE PRICE!

How much does it cost to attend MeggaXP?
This event is designed to be affordable for everyone! Adult tickets are $15, high school students are $10, and middle school and younger kids are $5. Military past and present get in free as well! There are also VIP tickets available (extremely limited) that gives you a ton of features and swag, pricing to be announced soon for those!

Where can I get tickets?
Tickets will go on sale on Thursday, April 16th, at 8:00 AM!

International Tabletop Day 2026

On the first Saturday in June, gamers unite for International Tabletop Day, which lands on June 6 this year. We’re excited to go all-in for our favorite games! Tabletop games have been played for years and they’ve evolved over the centuries. Battleship, for example, started on paper, and in the original, it included land areas and water. As time went on, it entered the third dimension as a vertical toy, and then went on to become one of the first computer games.

NerdFest 2026

Nerdfest is an annual boardgaming convention meant for anyone who loves to play games and have a good time. Our primary focus is to create a space for like-minded people to get together and socialize while doing what we all love most, playing boardgames! We will have a number of great vendors in attendance, as well as some local designers, and there are plenty of events for you to partake in and prizes to win! Above all else, Nerdfest is a place to come and share in a game and a laugh while making new friends. We hope to see you there Friday March 27th – Sunday March 29th of 2026!

Nerdfest is above all else a player’s convention. Open gaming is the main draw; however, we will have many events to get involved with if you prefer gaming that way! Otherwise simply bring any game you’d like to play, or check one out in our ever-expanding library, and find a space and some people to play with, and have a blast!!

Ann Arbor Michigan Pinball Show 2026

The VFW Pinball Show is the largest in world (by unique game count.) You will not find a pinball show with a greater number of restored and working pin games available for play any where in the World! And using a registration ticket system keeps people numbers low, so there’s always games to play, with no lines!

2026 Spring VFW Pinball Showcase has pin games from 1933 (essentially the start of coin operated pinball), to 1950s “woodrails”, to the 1960s/1970s/1980/1990s all the way to the latest current games of the 2000s and beyond. Every decade, manufacturer and game type is represented at the museum. There are many rare and hard to find games set up and ready to play. All machines are free play, so one entrance ticket allows unlimited play for the day. There’s something for every pinball fan here (we are the one of the largest dedicated pinball facility in North America.) But unlike other pinball museum type facilities, we are here every day working on our machines, making sure they play perfect!

Ambercon 2026

Ambercon is a broad-spectrum diceless gaming and indie gaming convention! We’ve got superheroes, musketeers, characters from various fictional settings we won’t name here due to fear of lawsuits, SOE operatives, cowboys, and, of course, Amber-based games… you name it, we’ll game it!
