The Final DFW Retropalooza Con
Posted today via FB/IG:
>Thank you, Retro fans!
>Our quest is over. We present you a new quest.
>Retropalooza and it's organizers genuinely appreciate the years of continuous support from our family, friends, and followers. As a special THANK YOU, we would like to invite all of you to celebrate ALL THINGS RETRO for one final show in DFW this May.
>Retropalooza has grown exponentially over the last 10+ years but at it's core, it is still a small family owned and operated business. In recent years venue, hotel, and travel costs were raised beyond the capacity of that for a small buisness. This decision wasn’t easy but it was best for our financial future.
>Retropalooza Houston remains unaffected and we look forward to seeing you there in 2027!
Suffice it to say this is a major bummer with a bit of a silver lining. For many of us the DFW iteration of Retropalooza filled the hole that SGC left and was very much synonymous with the Game Chasers. It's not super unexpected given some of the struggles with finding a DFW-based venue the last few years, but still a bit sad. The Houston show still lives on and hopefully that sees some growth from resources being pivoted from the DFW show.
