“Inspired by last year’s success, we are thrilled to be bringing Play Fair to a new city and reaching new families,” said Kelly Comboni, president of LeftField Media. “The co-location with Rose City Comic Con is a natural fit for Play Fair PDX as it has organically become a family-friendly event, where the entire family can spend the weekend making lasting memories.”

At Play Fair PDX, parents and kids will get two shows for the price of one and gain access to Rose City Comic Con which will host celebrity guests including Tom Welling, David Tennant, and Chris Sullivan, plus more than 800 exhibitors, creators, makers and artists on the show floor. Adult badges for Rose City Comic Con and Play Fair PDX Kids Badges will provide access into both shows. Separate badges are not needed for each show.
