Nerds, gamers, series fans and literature freaks, we have good news for you: the Bang! Festival is back for its 4th edition. From September 27 to 29, the event promises to bring more than 30 pop culture figures to Vila Nova de Gaia. Entry is free.
The event features a diverse program, capable of pleasing both young and old, including conversations with famous authors, book presentations, a gaming and arcade area, board games, concerts and even a DJ set. This year, the Bang! Festival is bigger than ever.
What does this mean? In addition to Corpus Christi and Armazém22, the Ramos Pintos Cellars now have an area dedicated to board games. However, this is not the only novelty of the 4th edition of the event, and there are also other surprises, such as:
- Replica of the famous throne from the acclaimed series “House Of The Dragon”
- New Bang! Kids space, designed with children in mind.
Festival Bang!: cosplay contest & literature
One of the aspects that pop culture fans appreciate the most is undoubtedly the cosplay competitions. After the success of the previous edition, the festival is once again betting on this attraction, promising to award prizes to the top three finishers.
Another of the highlights is related to literature, not only to the universe of the fantastic and fantasy, but also to horror, crime and science fiction.
In this context, the presence of the well-known writer Sherrilyn Kenyon (one of the pioneers in paranormal romance) is one of the great attractions of the event. Also noteworthy is Dacre Stoker, a descendant of the creator of the classic “Dracula” (1897), Bram Stoker.
Concerts by The Legendary Tigerman (and more)
This event isn’t just about gaming and literature, as the program includes some concerts.
At this level, one of the main highlights is the show by The Legendary Tigerman, who will liven up the Bang! Festival, on September 27, at 9:30 p.m., at Cais de Gaia, among other artists confirmed for the three days of the event.
