You'll get to check out or participate in a costume competition, a shoebox diorama competition, a custom action figure competition and a Doctor Who look-alike competition. And don't forget to take a picture in front of the TARDIS!
Doctor Who Authors
Doctoberfest 2024 is about celebrating Doctor Who authors. They've scheduled a variety of authors and Doctor Who podcasters.
You'll get to hear from Keith Barnfather, Nick Seidler and many more.
What is Who North America?
Who North America started in 1998 when Doctor Who fan Keith Bradbury wanted to bring Doctor Who products to the U.S.
In 2016, Keith and his wife, Jany, purchased their current location and have turned a love for Doctor Who into a detailed museum, event space and retail space.
A Welcoming Specialty Shop
If you're unfamiliar with all things Doctor Who, do not be intimidated by their shop. I know very little on the subject, but they welcomed me, showed me around and answered all my questions.
Even if you don't make it to Doctoberfest 2024, I'd highly recommend checking out Who North America!
