LAN All Night Classic Goes Back to Roots April 24-26, 2026

LAN All Night returns April 24–26, 2026, at Great Wolf Lodge in Grapevine, Texas, bringing the event back to its roots with LAN All Night Classic.

This is a BYOC LAN and Tabletop only weekend. No freeplay. No fighting game brackets. No vendors. No extras. Just focused gaming, community, and the core experience that built LAN All Night from the start.

By removing extra stages, vendor space, and specialty areas, LAN All Night Classic allows us to fit more BYOC seats into the venue, giving more players a spot at the table. The emphasis stays where it belongs, on gaming.

What to Expect

• BYOC LAN Party – Bring your own PC or console for nonstop, community-driven gaming.
• Tabletop Gaming – From classic staples to modern favorites.
• More BYOC Seating – A simplified floor plan means more seats and more gamers.
• Contests and Raffles – Fun challenges, giveaways, and prizes throughout the weekend.
• Charity Focus – LAN All Night will always be charity-centered.

LAN All Night Classic is intentionally stripped down. No distractions. No frills. Just rows of glowing PCs, packed tables, and a room full of people who came to play.

Why Classic?

LAN All Night Classic exists for a simple reason: to bring the event back to the people who make it possible.

Running two full-scale gaming events each year is a heavy lift. The Fall Festival is our big, feature-packed experience. The Spring Classic is designed to be lighter, simpler, and more sustainable for everyone involved.

By intentionally focusing Classic on BYOC LAN and tabletop gaming only, we reduce the operational load, simplify logistics, and create space for staff and volunteers to sit down, plug in, and game alongside attendees. Fewer moving parts means a healthier event and a healthier community.

This is how LAN All Night started, and this is how we keep it sustainable long-term.

LAN All Night Classic isn’t about doing less. It’s about doing what matters.

Festival vs. Classic

Same mission. Two different experiences.

LAN All Night now offers two events each year, one in the Fall and one in the Spring. Both support charity, both are volunteer-run, and both are built around the same community.

LAN All Night Festival (Fall)

• Large-scale, multi-feature event
• BYOC LAN, Tabletop, Fighting Games, and Freeplay
• Vendors, activations, and specialty areas
• Higher production with more moving parts
• Designed for maximum variety and spectacle

LAN All Night Classic (Spring)

• Purposefully stripped-down experience
• BYOC LAN and Tabletop only
• No freeplay, no fighting games, no vendors
• More space dedicated to BYOC seating
• Fewer distractions, simpler logistics
• Designed for focused gaming and shared participation

Classic isn’t a replacement for the Festival. It’s a complement.

Fall goes big. Spring goes back to basics.

Together, these two events allow LAN All Night to stay sustainable, support the volunteers who power it, and keep the community strong year after year.
