MAGWest 2026 brings three high‑energy days of music, gaming, and West Coast fan culture to San Jose, delivering the signature MAGFest vibe with a California twist. From August 14–16, attendees can dive into nonstop console gaming, arcades, tabletop adventures, LAN parties, indie showcases, and live video‑game music performances. Whether you're into chiptunes, retro cabinets, speedrunning, or community‑driven chaos, MAGWest offers an immersive festival atmosphere built for gamers, creators, and fans alike.
The festival transforms San Jose into a celebration of creativity and nostalgia, featuring hands‑on activities, panels, tournaments, and a bustling marketplace filled with artists and makers. As a West Coast extension of the beloved MAGFest community, MAGWest is run by MAGFest, Inc., a nonprofit dedicated to advancing appreciation for video games, game culture, and game music. It’s a welcoming, fan‑powered space where musicians, developers, and players come together for a weekend of pure play.
