The Fallout Fan Celebration 2025 was a three-day event running from November 14–16. The event officially started in 2022 when the owner of the Pioneer Saloon in Goodsprings, Nevada realized that gamers were habitually making a journey to visit the starting point of their favorite game. This year’s gathering was highly anticipated, coinciding with the 15th anniversary of Fallout: New Vegas and the 10th anniversary of Fallout 4, alongside the massive surge in interest generated by the popular Amazon Prime Video series.
This celebration returned fans to the real-world Mojave Wasteland, utilizing the iconic towns of Goodsprings and Primm, Nevada. Due to the immense growth in attendance—a direct result of the TV show’s success—event logistics were significantly scaled up. To manage the thousands of fans, registration and parking were located at Buffalo Bill’s Casino in Primm, with shuttle services running attendees to Goodsprings, where activities centered around the historic Pioneer Saloon (the game’s Prospector Saloon).
Highlights included the annual Goodsprings Walk touring key game locations, dedicated panels celebrating the franchise anniversaries, and the large-scale “Mojave Mayhem” segment, which created an “apocalyptic circus-like atmosphere” complete with a major cosplay contest and live entertainment. The celebration welcomed special guests, including cast members from the Prime Video series, Cameron Cowperthwaite and Rodrigo Luzzi, as well as original voice actors from the video games. Additionally, the event maintained a focus on charitable efforts, partnering with Fallout for Hope to raise funds for St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital.
