EVENT ORGANIZERS BEHIND THE MASSIVE GATHERING REFLECT ON THE ENERGY OF STAR WARS CELEBRATION CHICAGO AND WHAT’S IN STORE FOR NEXT YEAR’S EVENT, WITH TICKETS ON SALE TOMORROW!

The last time fans gathered for Star Wars Celebration in Anaheim in 2015, the lights went down for the debut of the teaser trailer for Star Wars: The Force Awakens and the crowd went wild.

Audience members burst into joyful tears; the unabashed excitement was unlike anything Este Meza, Lucasfilm’s senior manager of events, had seen before (and he’s been to music festivals, the world’s largest tomato fight, and the running of the bulls). “The energy and anticipation in that room and how the audience completely erupted when everyone heard ‘Chewie, we’re home!’ was unlike anything I have ever experienced,” Meza says.

“That was day one of Celebration Anaheim, the very first thing that happened,” adds Brian Stephenson, ReedPOP’s creative director and head of global brand marketing. “Obviously just the power of that trailer and the unbridled excitement of the fans carried through the rest of the experience.”

Fresh off the heels of Star Wars Celebration Chicago, the most recent and joyful Celebration to date according to organizers, fans can reunite in California once against next August when Star Wars Celebration Anaheim returns August 27-30, 2020, at the Anaheim Convention Center. Tomorrow, June 21, tickets go on sale at 9 a.m. PT followed by the official hotel block, which will go on sale at 10 a.m. PT.

Fans will gather to celebrate the completed Skywalker saga and mark the 40th anniversary of Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back. And organizers promise the event will continue to grow to offer the same hospitable community atmosphere that was present just a few months ago in Chicago.
