Saturday, July 25th, 2020, Sulphur, LA
Thanks to COVID-19, there haven’t been very many comic or pop culture conventions or festivals of any sort since March. Luckily for folks in southwest Louisiana and southeast Texas, though, Calcasieu Serialfest is returning for another great year!
As in prior years, Calcasieu Serialfest will focus on one person’s career throughout the day. Linda Stirling is this year’s focus, and attendees will get the chance to see Stirling in selected chapters from serials such as Zorro’s Black Whip, The Tiger Woman, and The Purple Monster Strikes! Other serials that will be shown throughout the day include The Crimson Ghost, The Spider Returns, and Dick Tracy!
If you’re worried about the risk of COVID-19, please be aware that the festival has taken numerous measures to provide the safest possible environment to watch serials and enjoy the day. Chairs will be spaced at least six feet apart, masks will be required for entry into the event, and the free lunch and popcorn that was provided at previous festivals will not be available this year. There will be a break for lunch, but attendees can either bring their own food or visit one of the many local restaurants in Sulphur for lunch.
Unfortunately Bill Necessary will not be able to attend due to circumstances beyond his control. If you’ve attended the festival in prior years, you’ve seen Bill dressed up as characters such as The Phantom, The Green Hornet, and Captain Marvel. He’ll be sorely missed this year. With that being said, though, attendees are encouraged to wear their own costumes to the event if they so choose.
Calcasieu Serialfest will take place on Saturday, July 25th, from 10 AM to 5 PM with a break at noon for lunch. This is one of the few chances that many folks will get to geek out with friends and fans this year, so make sure to attend this wonderful FREE event and geek out for a bit!
Thanks for reading my post. I’ll be sure to post a follow-up about this year’s Calcasieu Serialfest in a couple of days.
