HBO Max Peacemaker's Peacefest Immersive Fan Experience at SDCC Recap

One of the best offsites this year was Peacefest. What is Peacefest? Inspired by the show’s chaotic, glam rock–fueled world, the immersive event will feature live musical performances, interactive character-themed booths and games, including Harcourt’s KO Corner Bar, Vigilante’s Hero S* Merch Shop, Adebayo’s Hero Test Photo Booth, and Economos’ Ops Mortal Kombat station, along with exclusive giveaways and larger-than-life photo opportunities.   

The reservation system for this offsite before comic con didn't go very well as the website kept crashing but we can overlook that because the pain and suffering of wasting a day trying to get a reservation paid off big time. Once we arrived for our time slot, we were given a Peacefest bandana and a Peacemaker mask. We had unlimited drinks and got to see some of the Peacemaker props from the show as well as purchase exclusive Peacemaker merch. Upstairs was the bar and an area to play video games featuring none other than Peacemaker himself battling it out with anyone else from other shows or games. We got treated to a concert featuring a live band playing 80's Hair Metal music such as Guns 'n Roses' "Welcome to the Jungle", Def Leppard's "Pour Some Sugar On Me" to Bon Jovi's "Livin' on a Prayer". The live concert lasted about 20 minutes with the whole experience lasting over 30+ minutes.
