Plan the visit
Use March 17-21 as the organizer-published 2027 window
The festival's official home page announces March 17 through 21, 2027 in Frisco. The organizer says 2027 passes go on sale in fall 2026, so recheck the ticket and schedule pages before booking around a particular session.
Separate the public show from pre-festival programming
The current event format includes technical and exhibitor activity before the main public Friday-through-Sunday show. Use the final 2027 schedule to determine whether an earlier arrival adds value for your ticket type or interests.
Plan for a hands-on convention rather than a passive expo
The festival emphasizes hundreds of playable machines alongside tournaments, seminars, vendors and collector activity. Leave enough time to play and explore the floor instead of treating it as a quick exhibit walk-through.
