Fegersheim Video Game Festival

The Fegersheim Video Game Festival: a gaming temple in Alsace

Since its creation, the Fegersheim Video Game Festival has established itself as one of the major video game events in the Bas-Rhin region. Supported by the association Original Event, this festival offers a journey through the history of video games each year, from the first 8-bit consoles to the latest generation machines, including PC gaming and virtual reality.

A 1,500 m² space dedicated to gaming

The Fegersheim Cultural and Sports Center is transformed into a vast playground for three days. Visitors move between the different themed areas: a retro gaming space for those nostalgic for the early days, a section dedicated to current consoles (PlayStation, Xbox, Nintendo Switch), a PC gaming area with high-performance setups, and no less than 10 virtual reality headsets for unique immersive experiences.

Tournaments and competition

Tournaments are one of the highlights of the festival. Open to all skill levels, they allow players to compete in a competitive yet friendly atmosphere. Some competitions are broadcast live on Twitch, adding a spectacular dimension to the event and allowing remote viewers to follow the action in real time.

Much more than just video games

The festival is not limited to screens. A board game area welcomes visitors with volunteers ready to explain the latest news from the gaming world. The cosplay dimension is growing thanks to the partnership with the association Passion Cosplay, which organizes parades and meet-and-greets with talented cosplayers.

The association Achencraft also brings its creative touch with surprise presentations combining crafts and geek universes. On-site catering allows visitors to spend the entire day immersed in the festival's world.

An accessible and family-friendly event

With its affordable prices and family pass, the Fegersheim Video Game Festival focuses on accessibility. It caters to both seasoned gamers and the curious who wish to discover the richness of video game culture, in a relaxed atmosphere open to all generations.
