OCALA, FL (352today.com) – The Ocala Downtown Market was host to another successful Geek Fest with its 2026 edition on Sunday, March 29, 2026, from noon-4 p.m. Guests gathered around the market, exploring vendors featuring items such as 3D prints, jewelry, baked goods, trading cards, Funko Pops, minerals, comics, gems and much more. A popular feature of the afternoon was the LARP taking place in the grass adjacent to the overhang. Guests in costumes used large, foam weapons to attack each other in a fanciful display.
