CHITAG is the largest toy and game fair in North America, and there’s a reason—it’s the most incredible place to go, play, and have one of the most playful days you’ll ever have with your kids. There’s a packed schedule of special appearances, tournaments, and two days of toys and games.

Meet Inventors
There’s no better place to be inspired to take creativity and ingenuity to another level. Your kids will have opportunities to meet toy and game inventors and creators everywhere.
Additionally, ChiTAG hosts the Young Inventor Challenge to inspire and celebrate inventors. These events offer opportunities for young inventors, ages 6-18, to network, showcase their creations, and receive feedback. This year is the 19th year for the Young Inventor Challenge, and many previous winning inventions have been licensed and can be found on store shelves today!
At ChiTAG 2024, you can also grab the most memorable photo ops. The one-and-only Oscar Mayer Wienermobile will be there and you can take a photo with your favorite Star Wars character from the 501 st Legion Vader’s Fist! Plus, the fan-favorite Star Wars Character Lunch is back!
