The first annual Fitchburg Fandom Festival will be a groundbreaking extravaganza dedicated to everything pop culture including movies, television, music, and video games.  All ages are welcome with the primary goal of serving young children and those on the Autism Spectrum.  With a strong commitment to inclusivity and community engagement, our convention aims to foster a fun sense of belonging, provide educational and vocational opportunities, and contribute to the overall well-being of Fitchburg residents of all ages.

Sponsored by the Dream It, Create It Grant program and CoFF33 Corp.
