Get Ready for Geek Out: HCA 2026!
Join us for our 10th running year out at Hannon's Camp America for a popculture festival unlike anything you've ever experienced! Located in Camden-College Corner, Ohio nestled just outside Hueston Woods State park we host one of the most unique events that blends together comicons, music festivals and good old camping. We host a variety of events, live music and interactive spaces, and with 12-8pm being family friendly hours it's accessible for the whole gang!
We host Cosplay, Artists, Live Music, Circus Perfomers, Fire and Flow Performers, Special Guests, Bouncy Houses, Camping and so much more! Geek Out is a melting pot of culture and fandoms, culminating in a magical experience that is unlike anywhere else. What was started as way for us to share our passions with others has evolved into a community that celebrates diversity, creativity and passion, providing an intimate setting to network with other professionals, learn new skills and build lifelong friendships with your fellow campers.
​
We're so excited for 2026 and can't wait to Geek Out with you!
