Fragapalooza Information

What is Fragapalooza? Fragapalooza is an annual video game festival/LAN party that takes place in or near Edmonton, Alberta, Canada. It is a four day summer event starting on a Thursday morning and ending Sunday afternoon. Fragapalooza is primarily a BYOC event where attendees bring their own computer and play PC or console games on our high speed Local Area Network. Fragapalooza also includes official staff run tournaments, and un-official participant run tournaments. Our History: Where it began, what it became Fragapalooza started in Edmonton, Alberta in 1997 by a group of gaming enthusiasts. The first event consisted primarily of QuakeWorld and was held in an airplane hangar at the Edmonton Municipal Airport. It has since evolved into a much larger annual gathering, drawing attendees from across Canada and the United States. In November 2002, worked with Intel and Bell Canada and held an event dubbed 'Fragapalooza East'. It was held in Mississauga, Ontario which was a great experience and helped us learn a lot. In February 2009, Fragapalooza held its first winter event in Grand Prairie, Alberta and helped solidify our abilities to hold events in different cities. The Event Fragapalooza is going to be held over 4 Days of Non-Stop Gaming during the posted dates on the Home page. From the opening of registration at 9:00am on Thursday, the event will run non-stop until Sunday 4:00pm. This means that as a participant you can enter into the festivities at any time and participate for as long as you wish between these two times. Opening and Closing times are subject to change.
