About GG Fest

The Good Game Festival (GG Fest) is Westminster’s commitment to community.  The Good Game moniker is a concept that promotes good sportsmanship in online and tabletop games.  By saying “Good Game” at the end of a match, you are signaling a well played game and that your opponent put up a good fight.

What GG Fest Is About

GGFest brings competitive gamers, collectors and casual fans together to enjoy the games of the past and present while building friendships and memories for the future.  

Now in our third year, we are excited to offer expanded console tournaments, tabletop tournaments,  workshops, an expansive vendor village, and a food truck for festival goes convenience! 

We are MAGIC!

The organizers of Good Game want to create a diverse and inclusive gaming festival that promotes healthy gaming attitudes, sportsmanship, and education. Online, video, and tabletop gaming can be a great way to connect and engage with others who have the same interests. 

Our goal is to promote the “Good Game” lifestyle by identifying the triggers of “game rage” and finding acceptable ways of channeling anger, frustration, and anxiety.  By understanding game addiction behavior, we find acceptable ways to change that behavior.  It’s all part of a the “good game” lifestyle.  

Food and Hotels

We have included food with the inclusion of a food truck and tasty treats from community partners as well as our convenient concession table with drinks and snacks. 

Check out nearby food: Bauger’s Restaurant, Burger King, China Inn, IHOP, Katana Sushi, J&P Italian Restaurant, and Starbucks (inside Safeway).
