If you haven’t been to the Chicago Toy and Game Fair, you’re missing out. I went the past two years and love it! If you don’t know what it is, the Chicago Toy and Game Fair, also known as ChiTAG, is a convention where inventors bring their toys and games for you to see and try out before the holiday season. My kids went with me last year and loved it. Buddy fell in love with Quad Chess so Santa brought that to him for Christmas.
The North Pole might as well be in Chicago the week before Thanksgiving, as over 25,000 visitors will head to Navy Pier to shop and play with thousands of toys and games on display from over 250
exhibitors. The 10th anniversary Chicago Toy & Game Fair, the largest public toy and game show in the nation,
features the holiday season’s newest offerings from some of the bestselling brands in the world, as well as critically acclaimed, award-winning games from independent retailers. “We’re so excited about this year’s Fair,” said Mary Couzin, founder and CEO of the Chicago Toy & Game Group which hosts the Fair as the culmination of an entire week of industry conferences and playful events. “For our 10th anniversary we’re pulling out all of the stops with more toys, giant-sized games, awesome tournaments and contests, specialty programming and much, much more. It’s like a giant interactive and bottomless toy box!” The Chicago Toy & Game Fair will be held at Navy Pier in Festival Hall A on Saturday, November 17th and Sunday, November 18th
