G-FEST XIV

G-FEST is the largest regular gathering of Godzilla and Japanese monster fans in the world. Held each summer, G-FEST typically attracts about 1000 attendees. In 2005, more than 1300 attended.

G-FEST is a family-oriented convention which caters to a wide variety of interests within the kaiju genre. G-FEST features presentations and Q & A sessions by actors and crew from the Japanese Godzilla films, fan presentations on topics of interest, contests and gaming, new and classic kaiju movies, the western world’s largest kaiju-oriented dealers room, and lots of fun and camaraderie.

THIS YEAR’S CONVENTION
In 2007, G-FEST was held from July 6th through July 8th. The location was the same as last year, the Crowne Plaza Chicago O’Hare in Rosemont, IL, just outside Chicago. This year’s theme was “Godzilla vs King Kong.” Participants were encouraged, but not required, to consider the theme when preparing artwork, costumes and models for contest purposes. Guests this year were actors Rhodes Reason, Shelley Sweeney, Robert Scott Field and Carl Craig along with writer/director Donald F. Glut and pianist, Reiko Yamada.
