Posted by The Toontown Team on July 26, 2019 at 2:30 PM
In less than a week, Toontown will be hosting it's grandest celebration yet: ToonFest at ReplayFX 2019! We have all sorts of new activities and surprises planned for the Fifth Anniversary of ToonFest, and we can't wait for YOU to join us. Even if you can't attend, be sure to check out our livestreams throughout the event!
Our full event schedule is posted below, but first, let's talk about the brand new events coming this year...
Introducing Backstage Workshops
For the first time, we're going to give you a sneak peak into every aspect of how Toontown works! Folks from the Toontown Team will be hosting interactive Backstage Workshops that focus on specific topics such as Concept Art, Writing, Moderation, and more!
If that's not enough for you, some of these Backstage events are going to be interactive. If you're lucky enough to come to these events during ToonFest this year, you'll play a part in making a brand new piece of furniture for Toon Estates, from start to finish! Pretty cool, right?
These Backstage Workshops aren't the only new events coming to ToonFest. If you haven't seen it yet, check out our blog post about The TOONY Awards!
Event Schedule
Below, you'll find the full event schedule for ToonFest at ReplayFX 2019. Events that will be livestreamed are bolded, and most other events will be uploaded at a later date.
If you're attending ToonFest, don't worry about printing out this list! We'll have flyers at our booth with the same information that you can carry with you.

I just wanted to say thanks to the TTR team for all that you do. I just resumed playing toontown after a long gap of 3 years, and I forgot how amazing it was! Everything is really awesome, from the cog battles to the incredibly interesting ARG and storyline. Hope everyone has an amazing Toonfest. I'll be sure to watch the livestream(s)! :-)
