About LAN All Night
Welcome to LAN All Night Gaming Festival, the Dallas chapter of the national nonprofit organization, LANFest. At the heart of Dallas, we’re more than just a gaming event; we’re a vibrant celebration of community, charity, and the unifying power of gaming. Our mission is clear: to build healthy communities through gaming.
Gaming Together In Person
In a world where gaming is often seen as a solitary activity, LAN All Night Gaming Festival believes in the power of gaming to bring people together. Gathering to play games in person is like the difference between laughing with friends over a meme versus chuckling alone at your screen; it’s the same laugh, but somehow the first one gives you abs. Let’s face it, playing together in the same room isn’t just about the game; it’s about creating those hilarious, shared memories that you just can’t CTRL+Z.
