9 Oct

Big Games Night Out

  • Free
  • Family and kids

Australia’s largest free celebration of games is back at Fed Square, with over 100 free-to-play arcades, digital and tabletop, esports and indie games.

The iconic Cosplay Parade, Just Dance-offs, ACMI late-night programming and a spectacle of live music, markets, prizes and roving entertainment will light up Fed Square.

Little Games Night Out is a festival where children and adults can dress up and party together. This family-friendly afternoon will feature games, free face painting, Dr Hubble's Bubbles, and Joey Lightbulbs' Family Rave.

Jump back into the lost era of games culture with Electric Arcadia. A week-long tribute to the timeless Amusement Plaza, this vintage video arcade will transport fans to the classic era of the 1980s and '90s games nostalgia.

Tabletop and Roleplay take over the Edge Theatre with Indiginerd's Stranger Things-inspired Dungeons & Dragons, Local Games Market, and life-size playable board games.
