Fandom Fest on VKontakte is an annual celebration for thousands of fans of anime, comics, video games, K-pop, Asian culture, cosplay, and hundreds of other fandoms. Organized by the VK community, the festival not only brings together fans of various fictional universes, popular franchises, and iconic brands, but also offers them meetings with beloved artists, presentations of hot premieres, opportunities to learn about the entertainment industry from experts and influencers, and of course, to recharge with emotions during performances by trending headliners!

This year, Fandom Fest will take place on October 10 and 11 at CSKA Arena (located in Moscow at Avtozavodskaya, 23a). The program is still being updated, but several projects have already been announced, including the game Arknights Endfield, the series "Hard to Be a God," the films "The Wizard of the Emerald City" and "By the Fragments of Your Heart," as well as a presentation by the localization team "Studio Band," a lecture on adapting books into comics, and a master class on character creation in the lecture hall.

The musical headliners of the festival will be K-pop groups AHOF and Can't be blue.

Information about the featured fandoms on the resources is rather limited. However, a platform from Honkai Star Rail, a Genshin Café booth, and two characters from the aforementioned Arknights Endfield, performed by well-known Chinese cosplayers, have been confirmed.

On Saturday, October 10, entry to Fandom Fest will open at 10:00 AM, and the program will start at 11:00 AM and end at 8:00 PM. On Sunday, entry will also be at 10:00 AM, with the program running from 11:00 AM to 7:00 PM. More details can be found on the official festival website or the VK group. Tickets can also be purchased there, along with the latest news.
