Chess Fest 2025

Chess lovers of all ages are invited to the fourth annual Chess Fest, presented by HNOC’s Chess Club! Each year, Chess Fest participants enjoy the opportunity to craft DIY chessboards, play chess puzzle games, move as “human chess pieces” on a giant chessboard, join a friendly fast-chess tournament, and more. Whether you’re already an experienced player or someone just curious about learning the fundamentals of the game, HNOC’s youth-led Chess Fest is the place to be!

Admission to Chess Fest is free, but registration is required.
