About Dungeon Fest

What is it?

Dungeon Fest is an annual celebration of individuality, creativity, personal expression, and social bonds. We are a community driven, independent festival that creates the opportunity for people to come out once a year, spend time with friends and strangers, and create memories through the collective stories we tell by using the games we play.

Creativity and personal expression is what drives us, why we host games run by our community members, showcase live music and take the time to thank each and everyone of you for making Dungeon Fest happen.

Our Stance on AI

All things Dungeon Fest are done through the hard work of humans. We are adamantly anti-AI especially when it relates to the generation (rip-off) of art.
