Get ready for a fun-filled weekend at the Chicago Toy and Game Fair (ChiTAG), the largest toy and game fair open to the public in North America! On November 9th and 10th, the Donald E. Stephens Convention Center in Rosemont, IL, will transform into a hub of interactive exhibits, exciting events, and activities for all ages.
Highlights of the fair include the 19th annual Young Inventor Challenge, where children ages 6 to 18 can pitch their original toy ideas to industry executives. The event will also feature a ribbon-cutting ceremony by Rosemont’s Mayor Bradley Stephens, alongside the Girl Scouts of Greater Chicago and Northwest Indiana.
Toy lovers can explore the latest creations from brands like TOMY, Gray Matters Games, and Smart Toys and Games, while kids can snap a photo with the Oscar Mayer Wienermobile or Star Wars characters from the 501st Legion Vader’s Fist. Other attractions include a Bop It inventor meet-and-greet, Pinewood Derby races, a Duncan Yo-Yo contest, and much more!
