Visit GGEWho We Are
Raleigh Retro Gamers is North Carolina's largest gaming events organization, bringing together 25,000+ attendees a year across pop-up markets, shopping centers, museums, parks, and community hubs throughout the Triangle.
We started as a love letter to retro gaming and grew into something way bigger, a full-scale event company that produces free, family-friendly experiences packed with video games, cosplay, tournaments, vendors, and good energy.
From Triangle Town Center and Moore Square Park to NC museums and the Raleigh Convention Center, if something awesome is happening with games in NC, we're probably behind it.
Find an EventThe Community
Built around retro and modern video games alongside esports, every event is made for the people who show up, love gaming, carry their whole collection in a backpack, and stay until the last game ends.
Collectors, retro hunters, cosplayers, pack rippers, tabletop geeks, nostalgia lovers, and first-timers are all welcome. This is NC's gaming community, and it comes out every time.
