The event takes place every year in December throughout three venues on Camp Foster. The Fieldhouse hosts the Central Hub, the Community Center hosts the Gaming Hub and Globe & Anchor (inside Ocean Breeze) hosts the Q&A. The Community Center parking lot hosts MCCS food trucks & booths as well as the Kiddie Kingdom, which features various amusement rides.
