Guests with three-day, ultimate, VIP, or Saturday passes can access the Bard's Night Bash, a new event for 2025. Set for Saturday night, the special afterparty invites attendees to bring "Dungeons & Dragons" vibes with fantasy attire and activities. The festivities will also include a DJ and drinks available for purchase.

Gamers will have plenty to do at the event, which includes an open gaming zone, where attendees can test their skills at titles like "Mortal Kombat 1" and "Super Smash Bros. Ultimate." Fans can also check out the live "Dungeons & Dragons" nights each evening, when several video game voice actors will play the tabletop adventure with help from the audience. Classic Japanese arcade games and a dedicated tabletop play zone will also be available throughout the weekend.

Think you have Obi-Wan level dueling skills? Take part in epic (and safe) battles in the foam fighting arena throughout the weekend. Fan Expo Boston will have a dedicated space for attendees to face off using various padded weapons, available from open to close each day of the event. Just make sure you have the high ground!
