Lobstercon 2024

This is a community-organized Magic: The Gathering weekend in Greater Boston, featuring main events for the Old School 93/94 and Premodern formats. Since 2018, LOBSTERCON has been New England Old School’s marquee event, continuing as an annual charity fundraiser for Room to Grow, a non-profit organization based in Boston.

An entry fee of $90 for all players will cover registration in any and all of the weekend’s events: the Premodern MAIN EVENT (Friday, September 20), the Old School MAIN EVENT (Saturday, September 21), the X-Point Old School American Open (Friday, September 20), and the Premodern OFF-SITE EVENT (Saturday, September 21). All events will take place within a 10-15 minute walk from the main venue, with cash bars on-site and easy access to a wide range of carry-in food options in Cambridge.
