It sounds like a really laid back, fun time for like minded people to get together and be goofy. Tickets are only $10 and kids under are free with a paying adult.

If you can’t make it to Nerd Fest, there is another gathering on Feb. 12 at the Toms River Elks Lodge with a similar, if smaller, feel to it. It’s called Cabin Fever and will feature comic books, toys, non-sport cards, art, funko, lego, posters, anime/manga, graphic novels, comic themed craft items, collectibles, and more. Admission for Cabin Fever is just $5.
