MISD Fan Faire returns May 16 with free family fun
Mesquite ISD families are invited to celebrate creativity, fandom, games and adventure at the upcoming MISD Fan Faire on Saturday, May 16, 2026.
The free family event will take place from 9 AM to 1 PM at Dr. John D. Horn High School and will feature activities for students and families of all ages. From magical challenges and galactic adventures to karaoke, crafts, photo booths, games and live pugs, Fan Faire will offer something fun for everyone.
This year’s event will include the Cosplay Parade, where students can come dressed as their favorite family friendly characters and show off their creativity. Fans can also step into the Harry Potter Escape Room or take on the Star Wars Escape Room for puzzle solving fun.
Students will have the chance to grab the mic during Karaoke, learn how to play in the D&D Teaching Room, and visit the Pig the Pug Room with live pugs. Families can also stop by the Make and Take Potions activity, snap memories at themed Photo Booths, and check out the KPop Demon Hunters Room.
MISD Fan Faire celebrates books, comics, gaming, art, cosplay, creativity and pop culture while bringing students, families and community members together for a day full of imagination and fun.
