The greatest adventures in gaming all start in a tavern with unlikely characters! Come to Petrie’s Gaming “tavern” located on the mezzanine! Grab your “brew” (we have free water and cups!) and band together with strangers who will soon become your companions and life long friends for daring adventures!
Will you face dragons in a role playing game? Conquer the dice rolls to become masters of the board games? Or will you betray the others to collect all the cards?
Stop by to see what games are being rolled out all weekend or start one of your own.
Do you build models?
If so, bring it by the Model Show and share your work with the world! Our show includes science fiction, science fact, fantasy, and horror subjects.
Are you amazed by detailed artwork in miniature? Come on by and cast your vote for the People’s Choice Award!
Do you want to improve your skills? Our friendly staff of qualified volunteers will be happy to talk to you about your work.
RoboCon started as a small gathering of the dedicated builders of B9 Robot Builders Club (B9RBC.com). They came together to show the SciFi fans their Lost in Space Robots and talk about how they were built.
Now they return every year to showcase their current projects and display life-size Robots, from all sorts of movies and TV shows. The display is totally free and the builders are totally willing to talk robots all weekend long.
Join us for a series of talks focusing on astronomy, space exploration, citizen science and space technology! We will be gathering together space scientists, astronomers, cosmologists and science writers for a weekend of info-packed talks! RETURNING FOR 2019 — Ask a Scientist! We’ll have a table where you can talk to the scientists about all things science. Last year’s event was a big hit with both the attendees and scientists.
This is really the general category for everything that happens at StarFest that can’t be put in a box. It’s all about contests, activities, programming and events that are of general interest and fun!
What is StarFest?
What is the StarFest Science Fiction Entertainment Convention? Since 1977, StarFest has been Denver’s homegrown celebration of multi-media science fiction entertainment. StarFest is a combination of several unique conventions rolled into one big event that takes place over three days. StarFest is more than a Comic Con. StarFest won’t just occupy your attention for a couple of hours – it’s an entire weekend of Science Fiction Entertainment overload.
Come meet our guests face to face and to get to know them a bit at the start of the convention. You’ll enjoy desserts, coffee and nonalcoholic beverages while you have the opportunity to chat in a relaxed atmosphere. Door prizes and fun guaranteed. This is a causal get together for both the actors and convention attendees. No autograph or photographs. All the guests are invited to attend, but their presence is not guaranteed. Tickets to the Meet & Greet are $50.00 each. You must have a convention membership that includes Friday to come to the Meet & Greet.
Come join us for THE event of the weekend and bring your dancing shoes!!! The Federation Ball starts at 9 pm and runs until Midnight. It’s not limited to just the Federation; all species are welcome (including the occasional Celebrity)! We’ll have door prizes (must be present to win), a dance contest-the audience gets to help with the judging- and tons of great songs, so you can dance the night away (almost). It’s a family friendly event, and kids are welcome.
Cost is only 4.00 per person (under 6 is free) and ALL proceeds benefit the American Diabetes Association Tour de Cure, Dumb Friend’s League Furry Scurry and OMEGAResponders. Music is provided by ACES and the Ball is presented by the USS Pioneer and O.M.E.G.A. And don’t forget to purchase your special 2018 StarFest poker chip at this event (again, all proceeds go to charity) for only $5.00 each.
Looking for some action Friday night? Join the USS Pioneer for a free, no-limit Texas-Hold-‘Em Tournament! The game starts at 9:00 pm, with set-up starting at 8:30 pm in the Atrium. Players must be at least 18 years of age to play. Sheets listing the chip values and hand ranks will be available to keep it easy. You’ll have fun even if you haven’t played much! Registration begins at 5:00 pm at the USS Pioneer check-in table near Main Registration and goes until 8:30 pm. We’ll also be selling the StarFest commemorative poker chips for charity, benefiting the Dumb Friends League and American Diabetes Association.
Ready for some state-of-the-art computer simulation gaming?
