Downtown Bryan

For our primary night of festivities, students will perform their major works, including a puppetry and musical parade and cleansing ritual ("Lorefest Spectacle"); musical and dance pieces ("Lorefest Music Stage"); interactive theater performances ("Lorefest Ghost Walk" with Kathy Torabi and Lions Pride Wrestling with Houston Carson); and folk, carnival and AR/VR games ("First Friday Games Booths" with Dr. Daniil Leidermann and "Galveston Railroad Escape Room" with Dr. Edgar Rojas-Muñoz and Anne Quackenbush). Dr. Johnny Guajardo and Dr. Joey Lopez will be set up in the heart of First Friday to talk with passers-by and hear what spooky, fun and Texas-centric tales to outfit the Lorefest Story Repository. Tim Weaver and students will be hosting a cryptid-themed photobooth. Victor Lucio will be printing Lorefest T-shirts on site. Don't forget to sample new folklore-themed food outside the Parker-Astin Arts Center.
