The music and gaming festival is magfest INC's flagship event, occurring annually each winter. Magfest's library of historic gaming content contains console, arcade, and non-electronic exhibits dating from 1971 to the present. The magfest event gives its attendees the opportunity to experience gaming history. Magfest also exhibits video games created by independent developers, giving them a chance to demonstrate their work and accomplishments. Also, magfest features performances of music either arranged from or inspired by the music featured in video games. These performances preserve the art-form of video game music and promote the appreciation of it. Magfest provides a robust schedule of programming which includes industrial education presentations for attendees. The magfest event was created as an alternative to video game industry exhibitions, as these exhibitions primarily exist as a for-profit means of advertising. Magfest's main purpose is to provide a venue in which its attendees can learn about the history and culture of gaming.
