View CommentsSEGA Announces Sonic Boom 2014; No Summer of Sonic This Year

Good day Sonic fans around the world!

You all know by now that I’m a Sonic meetup/event enthusiast, having worked on the Sonic Revolution convention and having followed (and sometimes assisted) Sonic fan event efforts around the world. This is primarily because of how much I enjoyed SEGA America’s Sonic Boom 2012 event, and how much I desire every fan to experience something similar.

As a result, today is a mixture of boy joy and sadness. First, the bad news.

The Summer of Sonic has, after six years of continuous collaboration and hard work between the Sonic community and SEGA Europe, been announced to not be happening this year. Due to the time constraints that staff members must work within, the event has been placed on hiatus, but there is hope for it to return again in the future. Read the full story over at the Sonic Stadium, Summer of Sonic’s primary organizer.

The good news is that SEGA America has announced Sonic Boom 2014, once again having changed locations. Details are scarce, but they are as follows:

Date: Saturday, October 4th, 2014
Time: Evening, TBA
Venue: Grand Ballroom at the Manhattan Center
Location: 311 W. 34th Street (next to Penn Station) New York City, NY

Information will be reported as it comes along. I hope many of you will be able to join other Sonic fans in the Big Apple later this year!

Attendees may put themselves as going on the event’s Facebook Page.
