Proctors is putting on its inaugural Fandom Fest, scheduled to run Friday August 12 through Sunday August 14. The collaborative is hoping it will become an annual event appealing to gamers, tv & movie fans, esports lovers, and overall pop culture enthusiasts.

The three day event will be held at Proctors Theatre in Schenectady, basically taking over the entire venue from the arcade to both theatres with celebrity interactions, cosplay, lots of games, and relics from classic movies and tv shows.
