The Shenandoah Apple Blossom Festival’s esports events this year will be combined into one large-scale event, The McDonald’s Esports Tournament presented by Shenandoah University Esports. This event, held on April 27, will feature tournament-style competition in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate and Rocket League at the Shenandoah University Esports Arena.

Doors open at 9:45 a.m., and player registration is open until 10:45 a.m. on the day of the event. There is a required venue fee of $24. Competition begins promptly at 11 a.m.

If you wish to attend as a spectator to cheer on your friends or to enjoy some open-play games,  you can join the action live in the Esports Arena and the Hazel-Pruitt Armory, Collaboratory, for just $8 per ticket. Fun, free side events will go on throughout the day – you will not want to miss this! Side events are open to all event attendees. Purchase tickets at thebloom.ticketspice.com/esports-tournament.
