Canterlot Gardens indiegogo campaign is live!
During our first year in 2012, Canterlot Gardens held panels, concerts, and various other events for our 2,000+ attendees. Our special guests included the party loving pop star Andrew W.K, Tara Strong, the beloved new voice of Harley Quinn, and John DiMaggio, the infamous voice of Futurama's Bender.
With your help, and the help of indiegogo, we would like to make Canterlot Gardens bigger and better than ever for 2014. If we can pull together and raise our goal of $16,000 by November 19, we’ll have the funding we need to secure a larger venue, bring in new guests, and create new and exciting events.
We also have a very special perk for you gamers out there! For the first time ever, Legends of Equestria, a major pony MMO currently in development, is offering the general public the chance to have an NPC of their design to be put in the game. Working one-on-one with the Legends of Equestria team, you’ll have the opportunity to design one pegasus, unicorn, or earth pony NPC as well as write its dialogue for the game. You’ll also be credited for your creation!
As of right now, we have raised exactly $1,345 from this campaign alone, and have already sold out on one of our special artist alley perks!
Canterlot Gardens 2012 was one of the most successful My Little Pony conventions to date. With over 20 voice actors in attendance, as well as a dozen musicians, and some of the most popular indie game developers in the fandom, we gave our attendees an unforgettable experience that people haven’t stopped talking about since. If this fund succeeds, you will get all the panels, concerts, games, videos, along with the many other events that made Canterlot Gardens fantastic, and more. Help us make this incredible convention happen again in 2014!
Our indiegogo campaign can be found here, along with our complete list of perks, and our video gallery from our first year's event.

Midwest Brony Fest Announcement
Good news fillies and gentlecolts:
Mark your calendars now, as in right now! Friday, May 23rd, through Sunday, May 25th, 2014 are the dates that you now have plans for.
What are those plans?
Attending Midwest Bronyfest Kansas City! That’s right, we are back for another weekend of fun!
Pre-registration will run you an ultra-low $25. But hurry, this low price is only good this year. The first 100 early birds to register can get $5 off by using the code ‘EARLYBIRD’ at checkout. That means you can a whole weekend of fun for just $20. How do you like them apples?
Speaking of fancy apples; this year we have moved to the Marriott on Country Club Plaza in Kansas City, Missouri; a luxurious space just south of downtown Kansas City. We are currently working with the hotel to secure a convention rate. We hope to have that available within the next week.
Please take note that this year we are a 3-day event. However to get in on Friday for the vendor preview and reception, you must pre-register for the convention.
We look forward to seeing everyone this spring. Keep Calm on Pony On!
