igfest 6

igfest: “a festival of interesting games you play in the street.”

 From the website & organizer:

“Igfest is a festival like no other. Where other festivals feature mud, crippling ticket prices and questionable hygiene, we are more in the market for robots, ninja death cows, sweetshop bank heists, biblical sized water fights and powdered paint. Lots of powdered paint!“

“igfest is Bristol’s very own interesting games festival – street games, outdoor spectacles, mass social interaction, the reclamation of public urban spaces for play and adventure. Founded in 2008, the festival is in its fifth year.”

Lineup in the works.

“Two new headliners, the Cargo Remix and Incitement, will make their WORLD DEBUT and then there’s the igfest fringe to explore, dozens of beautiful games wrapped up in a party in Castle Park 8th September. Games, great food and fine ales – what more could you want on a sunny afternoon? Bring a rug, a picnic and your plimsols/pocket money. Headline tickets are £15 & £28, the Festival Fringe games free to £5.”
