DISCOVER
FESTIVAL
Friday - Sunday, June 7 - 9
Charlton, MA
The Decolonize & Discover Festival was created with the desire to amplify the voices of BIPOC, the LGBTQIA2S+ community, and people with disabilities within the worlds of creative storytelling.
At Decolonize & Discover, we invite you to try LARPing, cosplaying, crafting, and more—to delve into creativity and tell a story that is uniquely yours.
Through role-playing, games, panels, music, food, and workshops, we hope to foster a community that you’ll return to year after year.

Performances
This is a weekend packed with talent. Drag, burlesque, live music, knight fights, and more! Come support amazing local performers in their craft and be awed by their skills.

Vendors
Save room in your bag for souvenirs! Local artisans will be showing off their candles, knitting, sewing, painting, patches, and more! Great gifts for loved ones—and yourself.
Can’t wait?
You don’t have to. Get your D&D fix by listening to our podcast, where we interview a diverse cast of creatives about their craft and how they do the work to decolonize their corner of imagination.
It’s year 3, baby.
Decolonize and Discover Festival is BACK for 2024 and bringing you even more chances to network, have fun, and celebrate the voices and creativity of historically marginalized groups.
This is a place to foster connection and community with each other. At Decolonize and Discover, we aim to prove that no one has a monopoly on imagination.
Come and be a part of a new way.
