It’s nearly Labor Day weekend, which means Penny Arcade Expo (PAX) West is upon us. And while the big event at the Convention Center is the main draw, the geeky explosion happening in the surrounding area is just as much fun—and is a great way to experience the event and the community, even if you haven’t managed to nab tickets to the sold-out convention.
We’ve mapped spots that, for Labor Day, will be tangentially PAX-related, but open to the general public from Thursday until Sunday night, whether you don’t want the party to end or satellite events are your entire party.
Didn’t get PAX tickets? While a couple of these events are geared toward attendees, we specifically included events that are of general interest, whether they’re fresh out of the expo or they just want to party with a bunch of other nerds.
Bonus: Lots of them are free (with some exceptions).
