Indie Video Game Fest
The Enoch Pratt Free Library hosts the annual Indie Video Game Fest, a curated, curious, and creative exhibition of Independent Video Games from the DMV area.




Indie Video Game Fest is an annual one-day event that brings together gamers, developers, and video game industry insiders to play, discuss, and celebrate independent video games from across the DMV area.
As part of the event, we host exciting guest speakers from the video game industry. These talks focus on the creation of video games, the video game industry, and what working in it is like. Previous speakers include Jason Schreier, Chris Bratt, and Jake Solomon.
