Frag Hangover
We would like to thank everyone that attended Fragapalooza 2022 for all your passion and participation. It was a great event, and one we hope helps us move forward all the better for the experiences this year. We hope the Fragapalooza Hangover isn't too tough on everyone as you return to your regular lives.
Production Team
As our staff and volunteers also rest up, we want to send a large thanks out to our Production Crew @ Findlay Productions, and all the work they put into our event (and a special shout out to Kyrin @ FP for his work on our end!)
Sponsors and Partners
And a final thanks to our sponsors and partners for all they contribute to the event. Without you we cannot make the event it is today, and we hope to see you back in 2023.

Everyone
Get the rest you deserve, and we'll see you all online between now and our 2023 event! Its coming, we're excited and we know you are too. Can't wait!
Fragapalooza FIRST!
Join us for some RC Car Mario Kart at this year's Fragapalooza Hybrid Event!
The event will be on Saturday August 6 at 4:00PM MT in the Fulton Place Parking Lot! We understand that this year we couldn't have as many people LAN gaming together what with a smaller venue with only so much space, but why not bring a fun gaming activity outside so that anyone can join, whether or not you have a seat at the venue! So feel free to come by and partake in some RC Car Mario Kart and hang out with a fun event!
The game itself is called Mario Kart Live Home Circuit, and currently we have arrangements for two Switches & RC cars to be brought along, but the game can go up to 4, so if you have the game feel free to bring it along and add more racers to the setup!
The event will be streamed over at https://www.twitch.tv/acousticharmonia
We hope to see you there!
BIG THANKS to our production crew, powered by Fragapalooza Staff and Findlay Productions! Without you our event could not be the event it is today!

P.O.D. - Bringing Gamers Back To LAN
A LAN Party is defined by Wikipedia as “a gathering of people with computers or compatible game consoles, where a local area network (LAN) connection is established between the devices using a router or switch, primarily for the purpose of playing multiplayer video games together”
Fragapalooza at its core is and will always be a LAN Party put on by Gamers for Gamers; a place where the gaming community can come together to game, share experiences, have fun times, and make lasting memories.
Fragapalooza’s Hybrid Venture Showcase is the first step in taking us back to that large LAN Party, but starting out small for 2022. Bring on the PODs (Put on Display - still working on that acronym), small LAN Parties connected virtually to the hub at Fragapalooza. We are looking to foster that social community interaction through a POD (Play on Demand - hmmm still not right) of your own design.
Put those people you feel most comfortable with in the same location, hook them up in your POD (People of Discord - better we think), and join Fragapalooza for our Hybrid Venture Showcase. We’ll get some fun events going between all the PODs (Players of DeGames - ha, may have it there) remote and local; can even share your setup with the showcase live on Twitch should you desire.
Let's take this opportunity to go back to Fragapalooza’s grassroots. Name your POD (People of DeGames - so close!), Register your POD (Peeps of DeGames - there it is!) and join us August 4-7, 2022 to play some games!
POD Registration Info:
- In Discord: https://discord.gg/fragapalooza
- #Announcement Channel: Look for an announcement this week July 11-16, 2022
- POD Leader: React to the announcement and receive role in Discord with access to #POD Channel - ONLY 1 POD LEADER needed per POD
- #POD Channel: Stay tuned to it for more information
