This time we’re back to hiding up stairs like proper Sasquatch. The BYOC is open Friday February 20th at 3:00 PM through Sunday the 22nd at 5:00PM with plenty of gaming action to last the whole weekend!
A LAN party is a social gaming event where people bring their own computers or consoles and play together in the same room. It’s a friendly, come-as-you-are space where you can jump into games, cheer others on, or just hang out. It’s a fun event to bring friends to—and a great way to make new ones. Alongside video games, there are also “AFK Games” like tabletop games, D&D, and other offline activities, so there’s always something to join, even if you want a break from the screen. You don’t need to be an expert to fit in; LAN parties are about sharing a fun, welcoming experience with people who love games of all kinds.
Don’t want to lug your PC around? Try out our Rental PCs and Be a Hero! With a rental PC you also get a monitor and peripherals but you still need to purchase a seat. If you want to bring your own PC but sprawl on a 6 foot table grab a VIP seat! For the more cozy option a regular BYOC seat gets you a 3 foot table section. We also have discounted youth tickets for the kids. Come create healthy communities through gaming and support at Emerald City LAN Winter 2026.
Be sure to keep in touch on the LANFest and Emerald City LAN Discord for more updates!
