About the event

Get ready for a night filled with the excitement of pop culture, cosplay, anime, and K-pop as Calera Main Street hosts the inaugural Calera Nerd Fest on Saturday, November 16, 2024, from 6:00 PM to 12:00 AM. Unlike a traditional convention, this festival-style event will immerse fans in a lively celebration of fandom, bringing together anime enthusiasts, K-pop lovers, and creatives for an unforgettable evening of music, art, and fun. With a dance party headlined by DJ Nadya, dance and costume competitions with prizes, and a wide array of independent artists and vendors, Calera Nerd Fest will be a must-attend event for fans and creators alike.
