The 3rd Annual Play Fair, hosted by The Toy Association and LeftField Media, is heading to Portland, Oregon this fall.

  • Hands-on activities including an Urban Warrior kid’s obstacle course, a 9DKP card tournament, a creation station with LEGO builds, and a craft station with take-home creations

At Play Fair PDX, parents and kids will get two shows for the price of one and gain access to Rose City Comic Con, which will host celebrity guests including Tom Welling, David Tennant, and Chris Sullivan, plus more than 800 exhibitors, creators, makers, and artists on the show floor. Adult badges for Rose City Comic Con and kids badges for Play Fair PDX will provide access to both shows.
