Area Attractions - Future Play Festival (Peoria, 10/3-10/4)

What if a gaming convention actually felt like a playground?!

That’s the idea behind Future Play Festival, a brand-new two-day interactive entertainment experience taking over the Peoria Civic Center October 3–4 in Peoria, Illinois, bringing together gaming, collegiate esports, immersive technology, creators, live music and hands-on experiences — and, most importantly, putting the audience in the middle of it all.

And when the sun goes down, Future Play goes After Dark. Saturday night features Lil Jon and global electronic music star James Hype, giving festivalgoers the option to turn their gaming and entertainment experience into a full-on concert night.

TICKETS ARE ON SALE NOW

Festival admission starts at just $19.99, with single-day, two-day, concert-only and festival + concert combination options available.
