About this Event
Side Quest is Jacksonville’s go-to gathering for the delightfully unconventional. Every month, Circuit Arcade Bar transforms into a full-blown exposition of local performers, artists, makers, cosplayers, and artisans — the kind of fandom-fuled, boundary-pushing talent you won’t find anywhere else in Jax.
Wander through vendor booths overflowing with oddities and pop culture treasures, catch electrifying performances from burlesque acts to cosplay showcases, and level up your night with retro arcade games between sets. Grab great eats from Ocean Street Tacos and cold drinks from the bar — because every quest needs proper fuel.
This is a space built for the unconventional: gaming and anime fans, con-goers and vendors, burlesque lovers, cosplayers, and art oddity enthusiasts alike. Side Quest is a proudly inclusive event welcoming the LGBTQIA+ community and everyone who marches to their own beat.
Hosted by Awesomus Prime and DJ HelloNicki, this is where Jacksonville’s nerdiest and most creative crowd comes to roll the dice on a night they won’t forget.
18+ after 9pm.
