G Fest Tickets

G Fest is the premier annual kaiju and Godzilla convention held in the Chicago area, drawing fans from across the country to celebrate giant monsters, cinema, and pop culture. Since its founding in 1994 by J. D. Lees and John Rocco Roberto, G Fest has become a reliable gathering for fans to connect with creators, actors, and fellow enthusiasts. The 2025 edition runs July 11–13 at the Hyatt Regency O’Hare in Rosemont, Illinois—just outside Chicago. Expect dynamic panels, autograph sessions, screening rooms, contests, and a robust vendor hall featuring Kaiju World and Kaiju Island. Whether you’re a long-time collector or a first-time attendee, we’ve got you covered for a smooth, no-hassle experience.

Important notes: G Fest has a storied history with occasional scheduling changes and cancellations, including a COVID-era pause before returning to its regular cadence. The event is known for its Mangled Skyscraper Award, presented annually to notable guests since 1999. For those planning their visit, we’ll keep you informed about any updates.
