NerdLouvia, a local board game/video game/cosplay/etc. convention, will return this fall after a two-year hiatus.

The event runs Friday, Nov. 4 (for VIP guests) and Saturday, Nov. 5 (for all guests) at Art Sanctuary (1433 S. Shelby St.) This year’s theme: “Stranger Things.”

NerdLouvia will have just what you’d expect from any other nerd convention — gaming tables, game libraries, DND, merch vendors, artists, panel discussions, workshops, cosplay, improv, and more. There’ll also be food trucks and a cash bar.

You can buy your tickets at this link. General admission tickets cost $30/day. VIP tickets are $60 for a two-day pass and include a t-shirt, a collectible badge and lanyard, early access to the vendor and gaming tables, and a private party with a DJ, karaoke, magic shows from “The Whiskey Wizard” Richard E. Darshwood, and special cocktails.

Proceeds from NerdLouvia will benefit Next-Gen Nerds, which donates technology, money, and other resources to local at-risk youth.
