Where: Woburn Holiday Inn, near Boston, MA (15 Middlesex Canal Park Dr, Woburn, MA 01801)
When: Columbus Day Weekend – October 8th, 9th and 10th, 2010 (that’s three nights of music: Friday, Saturday, and Sunday, plus daytime activities on Saturday and Sunday.)
Tickets: $45 weekend passes are available until September 8th, 2010 (prices will gradually rise to $55, leading up to the event, so get your tickets early!)
Rooms: $110 per night at the Woburn Holiday Inn (includes free shuttle service from the nearest train station — double rooms are limited, so book your rooms right away!  Also, hotel rooms must be reserved by September 8th in order to qualify for this discounted rate.  NOTE: Many people are experiencing difficulty using the online reservation system – note that the group code is STR, and that the bug in their system often resolves itself on the second try.   You may also try calling the hotel directly at: 781-935-8760)

We have more in the works that we cannot yet announce, but expect further details on additional entertainment, the Maker Showcase (ie. better than an Art Show), and a list of daytime workshops and panels.

In the meantime, you should investigate our information for vendors, investors, and sponsors.

You should also consider attending StrowlerCon’s sister events: StrowlerFest in St. Louis (a festival of pagan music that doesn’t suck – sponsored by Laurell K. Hamilton) and Strowler Nights in Seattle (on Halloween Weekend, featuring fire shows and a Chrononaut’s Masquerade.)
