On May 2, Fans of comics, gaming, anime, and all things geek will unite at Oviedo Mall
on Saturday, May 2 from 11:00 AM to 5:00 PM for the inaugural Great Geek Gathering, a free, all-
ages celebration of fandom culture.
Timed perfectly with the nationally recognized Free Comic Book Day, the event invites guests to
immerse themselves in a day packed with pop culture experiences, local vendors, and interactive fun.
At the center of the action, Ultimate Comics will be offering free comic books while supplies last, along
with a special pop-up warehouse sale featuring exclusive deals for collectors and newcomers alike.
Throughout the mall, attendees can explore a curated marketplace featuring vendors representing a wide
range of fandoms, including comics, gaming, anime, sci-fi, fantasy, and handmade geek-inspired
merchandise. From collectibles and artwork to cosplay accessories and unique gifts, the Great Geek
Gathering aims to create a vibrant hub for fans of all ages.
“This event is all about celebrating the passions that bring people together,” said Josh Gunderson,
Director of Marketing & Events for Oviedo Mall. “Whether you’re a lifelong comic fan, a gamer, an
anime enthusiast, or just someone looking for a fun and unique experience, the Great Geek Gathering is
designed to be a space where everyone can feel at home.”
The Great Geek Gathering is part of Oviedo Mall’s ongoing initiative to create engaging, community-
driven events that bring people together through shared interests and experiences. Organizers hope this
first year will lay the foundation for a growing annual tradition.
The event is free and open to the public, making it an accessible and family-friendly destination for
anyone looking to celebrate geek culture.
