A Celebration of Strategy and Community
Chess is more than just a game, it’s a global language of logic, patience, and foresight. It sharpens the mind, nurtures problem-solving skills, and builds confidence both on and off the board. For centuries, chess has connected people across generations and cultures.
Chess Fest 2025 is more than a tournament, it’s a community experience designed to inspire, educate, and entertain. Whether you’re just learning how the pieces move or you’ve been playing competitively for years, you’ll find a space to connect, grow, and challenge yourself.
What to Expect at Chess Fest 2025
We’ve designed a packed afternoon that balances competition, creativity, and fun for all ages.
Chess Tournament
Test your skills against players from across the community in our official tournament. With divisions for different age groups and skill levels, everyone gets a chance to shine. Prizes and trophies await the top competitors, but every participant walks away with the pride of playing the timeless game.
Battle of Heroes: Police vs. Firefighters
One of the most anticipated highlights of the day, the Battle of Heroes. Local police officers and firefighters will square off in a special exhibition match, showcasing not just strategy but also the spirit of teamwork and friendly rivalry.
DIY Chess Piece Craft Station
Chess isn’t only about logic, it’s about creativity too. Visit our hands-on craft station where kids (and adults) can design and decorate their very own chess piece to take home. It’s a keepsake that represents imagination and individuality.
Chess Trivia Challenge
Do you know who the youngest grandmaster in history is? Or how many possible ways there are to play the first four moves of chess? Test your knowledge in our trivia challenge for a chance to win fun prizes. Perfect for spectators and players alike!
Open Play Chess Tables
Pull up a chair, meet new friends, and play a casual match. Open play is the heart of Chess Fest, a chance to bond, learn, and simply enjoy the game at your own pace.
Food, Fun, and Fellowship
We know chess can work up an appetite, so a light lunch will be provided for all attendees. Between matches and activities, guests can enjoy good food and great conversation while recharging for the next round of action.
