DECOLONIZE &
DISCOVER
FESTIVAL

Three Afro-Latinx adventurers in one of our LARP demos.

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.
