All about the theme
Admit it – You’re super passionate about your favourite fandom and you’ve probably participated in your fair share of debates over which fandom is better. We certainly have!
This got us thinking… what if we embraced the rivalries between fandoms and had some fun with it? We’ve decided to dream bigger than Star Wars vs Star Trek and tackle one of the biggest rivalries out there…
We’re excited to present “Ottawa Geek Market IX: Sci-fi vs Fantasy”.
That’s right, this fall we’re celebrating the best of sci-fi and fantasy with all sorts of themed activities, prizes, shopping, and maybe even a surprise or two! Which side will you be on?
Not a fan of either genres? No problem! We’ll still have plenty of amazing shopping for other geeky fandoms too.
