Denver convention StarFest, one of the longest-running pop-culture gatherings in the nation, has announced its final voyage.Classic pop-culture convention, May 13-15 at the Hyatt Regency DTC, 7800 E. Tufts Ave. in Denver. Tickets: $29; children 10 and under are free. Order by calling 303-777-6800 or visitingThe 45-year-old event, which debuted just two weeks before “Star Wars” hit theaters in 1977, will hold its last convention May 13-15 at the Hyatt Regency DTC.
The founders of StarFest, shown in 1977, were among the first in the world to screen the trailer for “Star Wars.” “I know the big cons — they’re out there. The one that’s now going to be in Denver, the Fan Expo … they have like 12 others they do throughout the country,” Walker said. “StarFest is just a different show. We have families who have been coming to us for decades, people who have gotten married here, and hosts and volunteers who have also been with us for decades.”
Back when StarFest started, it was propelled by in-person meetups, such as clubs that gathered to pore over “Star Trek” episodes on VHS tape, Walker said. StarFest has since expanded to cons-within-cons, such as ArtFest, ComicFest, GameFest, HorrorFest, KlingonFest and ScienceFest.
