What is ToonFest?
ToonFest at GalaxyCon is Toontown’s real-world convention – celebrating all that makes Toontown special! It’s an event meant for kids and adults alike, bringing us together to celebrate the town we hold so dear to our hearts. There’s a whole website just above this FAQ question with the details – so definitely check that out if you haven’t already.
When is ToonFest?
ToonFest takes place at GalaxyCon, Columbus. The convention center opens on Dec 6 at 2pm with the Exhibition Hall closing at 8pm. Subsequent days open at 10am. GalaxyCon Exhibitions end Dec 8 at 6pm.
Can I bring my own laptop to ToonFest?
You betcha! While we’ll be providing our own laptops to freely play Toontown on, players with their own laptops will be able to get set-up in our game station area. Note that while we’ll be providing the space, we may not be able to accommodate all set-ups or diagnose all technical issues you may run into when not using our provided systems.
Is ToonFest safe for my family?
Yes! GalaxyCon enforces zero-tolerance policies designed to keep everyone safe. Security personnel will be on-site. COVID-19 vaccines and boosters are of course recommended. Check out the aforementioned GalaxyCon Safety Policy here.
Where can I stay while attending ToonFest?
Some nearby accommodations include Hilton Columbus Downtown and Courtyard Marriott Columbus. Toontown Rewritten does not specifically promote these hotels; they are simply in close proximity to GalaxyCon.
What else is there to do?
Why not make your trip to Columbus a vacation? There’s lots to do at GalaxyCon – you can see their full schedule and floorplan here when it’s released. Otherwise, we’ve listed some population attractions in Columbus above!
Where do I go from the John Glenn Columbus International Airport?
Where do I go from the John Glenn Columbus International Airport? Shuttles, buses, taxis, and ride-hailing services are available to transport you from the airport to GalaxyCon. Check out transportation options (as well as any other flight concerns) at the Fly Columbus website.
Can ToonFest come to my city?
We always keep an open mind for the convention we believe best serves ToonFest and Toontown at large! One of the reasons we chose GalaxyCon is because of their numerous events taking place throughout the United States. This will present opportunities in the future for ToonFest to be closer and accessible to even more members of the community!
What is the 'Toon Enough' bundle?
The bundle is a V.I.P. package that can be purchased at GalaxyCon which includes some additional merch. This bundle is offered by and is purchased through GalaxyCon – Toontown Rewritten is not responsible for it and is in no way receiving money through it.
I’ve got another question that isn’t answered here!
