The Long Island Retro Gaming Expo is where gamers, new and old, can experience the joy and history of videogames in an environment that encapsulates the golden eras of gaming but re-imagined for today’s player. Held annually every August at our home venue The Cradle of Aviation, LI Retro houses over three levels of arcades, hundreds of console and PC gaming events, exclusive exhibits, engaging panels, curated vendors, live performances, and more.
The Expo began with a simple idea, “Let’s make the kind of show we’d all want to go to!” And that’s exactly what we’ve done by providing a friendly and welcoming environment to everyone, including guests, volunteers and vendors. The Expo has now become a focal point of the growing northeast gaming community. Gamers and organizations of all types have chosen our venue to host annual tournaments, meet their fans or just spend time together enjoying our shared passion.
The Long Island Retro Gaming Expo is now in its 7th year for lovers of retro games and classic gaming.
