Darkmoon Faire
Community Amphitheater
The Darkmoon Faire is back for 2017! The Faire will be the main location for many community attractions, like Pin Trading, Pet Adoption and the Photo Booth.
Pin Trading
Pin trading is a fun activity where players collect pins at Blizzard events and then swap them for missing ones. Some pins are very difficult to get, so people display the ones they have on a lanyard and hope they can make an exchange. Players can purchase Season 4 blind packs from the BlizzCon shop. You can find more about Pin Trading in our
Pin Trading Guide
!
The BlizzCon 2017 Pin Trading Booth is located on the second floor of the North Hall, in the convention center, in the Darkmoon Faire. Here are the official rules:
Collectors can trade for up to two different pins each time they approach the board.
Trades are one pin for one pin, and a gold pin can only be traded for another gold pin.
The board will accept any pin from the official Blizzard Collectible Pins collection.
Players can also trade pins with special Community Members who will be wearing lanyards filled with pins:
Collectors can trade for up to two different pins per community member per day (multiple team members will be participating at the same time).
Trades are one pin for one pin, and a gold pin can only be traded for another gold pin.
They will only accept pins from the official Blizzard Collectible Pins collection.
Learn more with our
Blizzard Pin Trading Guide

Capsule Toy
and trade with other collectors for the characters they like. Season 4 will include Anduin and Genji.

Diversity Meet-up
New to the 2017 edition, the
Diversity Meet-up
is a meeting for all attendees insterested in joining discussions about diversity in gaming and in life. The meeting will take place at the North Hall, Level 2, during both days of the Con.
The Blizzard community is global and diverse, and this is something we cherish. We’re proud of how our players and our workforce reflect the spectrum of cultures, genders, sexual orientations, and interests that make up the world we live in—it’s cool we’re not all the same. It helps make life more interesting and rewarding. That’s why we think it’s important to find new ways to recognize who we are as a global community. We know that this is important to many others in the community too. Time and time again, we’re inspired by how our players celebrate and support each other’s differences.
With that in mind, we’re excited to introduce a new space at BlizzCon this year that we’re calling the Blizzard Diversity Meet-Up.
The Diversity Meet-Up (located in the North Hall on Level 2) is for all attendees who are interested to join discussions about diversity in gaming and in life. One of our loftier goals for the space is to make it a place for people to share their experiences as they relate to diversity and inclusivity, whether in our games or within our community. To that end, we’re going to encourage group discussions, and Blizzard employees will be there to share their stories as well. We’re also there to answer any questions attendees may have about how Blizzard is supporting diversity from a workforce and hiring standpoint.
We see the Blizzard Diversity Meet-Up at BlizzCon as a celebration of our community and another way to enrich how we interact with each other. That’s the inspiration for bringing it to the show. We look forward to seeing you there, hearing your ideas and experiences, sharing our own, and coming together as we do every year to embrace our inner geek and everything else that makes us who we are.
