Power Armor Festival
Community, creative, costumes, cars, and chaos at the end of the world.
April 24th & 25th, 2027
Point Pleasant, West Virginia
When the world ends,
community begins.
Wastelanders should grab their geiger counters and supplies and begin to ready themselves for a weekend at Point Pleasant, WV where the Power Armor Festival emerges from the dust as a fan-hosted celebration of post apocalyptic atomic culture.
For one weekend, the wasteland survivors of various factions will gather at this free admission event that transforms the downtown into a rugged wasteland playground, featuring a battle scarred car show straight out of the nuclear end times, immersive themed vendors, and plenty more fan-hosted surprises forged from the scrap and imagination.
Whether you're rolling in with rusted steel or arriving as a caravan of junk traders, a conquering band of raiders, or Mothman follower, a lost but cheerful Vault dweller, or just have curiosity for life after the fall of civilization, the Power Armor Festival is proof that even after civilization collapses, community, creative, and good times endure. And most of all, war never changes.
Applications open mid-2026. All ages welcome.
