Chicago | September 12 - October 6
Join the Event

The Chicago UnPlugNPlay Festival 2019 is the event of the year for all Chicagoans and visitors that enjoy the exciting game of ping pong.

Taking place September 12 – October 6, 2019, this collaborative citywide festival features ping pong pop-ups at public and private venues across Chicago. Festival activities include casual play, interactive games and tournaments, exhibition matches, and much more.

The multi-week festival is structured with quality fun that promises to help participants de-stress and connect through a friendly game of ping pong.

The Chicago UnPlugNplay Festival is the brainchild of Killerspin, the sponsor and organizer of the festival. Killerspin, a Chicago company born from the city’s first ping pong festival in 2000, exists to connect people to those they care about through play.
