STAGE EVENTS

During the Festival, we will host Stage Events inside Mission Bay Conference Center’s Robertson Auditorium (2nd Floor).  Maximum capacity is 200 people.  We will ask that once you join an event, you refrain from entering and exiting to avoid extra noise.

All Stage Events are on Saturday, October 25th and start at 12 noon.  No tickets required, seating is first come, first served.
