Last Saturday, starting at eight in the morning, the first edition of Circus Fest took place, an event focused on the entire Barquisimeto Geek community and with a circus theme.
El pasado s谩bado, a partir de las ocho de la ma帽ana, se llev贸 a cabo la primera edici贸n del Circus Fest, un evento enfocado a toda la comunidad Geek de Barquisimeto y con tem谩tica circense.
The participating entrepreneurs and artists began to set up their stands very early in the morning. The headquarters of the UCV Barquisimeto was the chosen scenario for this first edition of an event that was very well organized. The owner of the online store Frikx Chisp was the organizer along with her team, who made sure that everything went as planned.
Many stands selling products, accessories, photos, posters, video games, collectible figures. The attendees had a lot of fun. Many products at good prices, within everyone's reach. There were also T-shirts for sale, cosplay accessories and of course a section with food for sale since the event would last until five in the afternoon and those who spent the whole day, could eat there.
Los emprendedores y artistas participantes comenzaron a montar sus stands desde muy temprano. La sede del n煤cleo UCV Barquisimeto fue el escenario escogido para esta primera edici贸n de un evento que estuvo muy bien organizado. La due帽a de la tienda online Frikx Chisp fue la organizadora junto a su equipo, quienes se encargaron de que todo saliera como estaba previsto.
Muchos puestos de venta de productos, accesorios, fotos, p贸sters, videojuegos, figuras coleccionables. Los asistentes disfrutaron mucho. Muchos productos a buen precio, al alcance de todos. Tambi茅n hab铆a venta de camisetas, accesorios de cosplay y por supuesto una secci贸n con comida a la venta ya que el evento durar铆a hasta las cinco de la tarde y los que pasaran todo el d铆a, podr铆an comer all铆.
I arrived around one o'clock in the afternoon, I was a little late and the time flew by. I missed a lot of cosplays to take pictures of them, but I was able to visit all the booths and take note of their instagram pages because there are several things I liked, but that day I had no money in my account. I especially liked some of the flannels.
There was a video game area where they also had a small tournament. You couldn't miss the Random Dance Cover section and the presentation of dance groups that delighted the audience with their spectacular choreographies.
Llegu茅 sobre la una de la tarde, llegu茅 un poco tarde y el tiempo se me pas贸 volando. Me perd铆 muchos cosplays para hacerles fotos, pero pude visitar todos los stands y tomar nota de sus p谩ginas de instagram porque hay varias cosas que me gustaron, pero ese d铆a no ten铆a dinero en mi cuenta. Me gustaron especialmente algunas de las franelas.
Hab铆a una zona de videojuegos donde tambi茅n ten铆an un peque帽o torneo. No pod铆a faltar la secci贸n Random Dance Cover y la presentaci贸n de grupos de baile que deleitaban al p煤blico con sus espectaculares coreograf铆as.
I could see other familiar faces from other similar events. Everyone was having a great time, sharing, chatting, taking pictures, watching the prepared shows and buying products.
The place is quite big and so they had the capacity for many entrepreneurs to be there.
Among the different stands, there were also those of artists. Both geek artists and many cartoonists had the opportunity to show and sell their art. Some were creating new art right there and participated in a contest in which they received recognition.
Pude ver otras caras conocidas de otros eventos similares. Todo el mundo se lo estaba pasando muy bien, compartiendo, charlando, haci茅ndose fotos, viendo los espect谩culos preparados y comprando productos.
El lugar es bastante grande y por eso ten铆an capacidad para que estuvieran muchos emprendedores.
Entre los diferentes stands, tambi茅n estaban los de artistas. Tanto los que hacen arte geek como muchos dibujantes, tuvieron la oportunidad de mostrar y vender su arte. Algunos estaban creando arte nuevo all铆 mismo y participaron en un concurso en el que recibieron reconocimiento.
There was a raffle where the winner was chosen by taking one of the flyers that were distributed for three months, a young woman known within the community was the lucky winner who received gifts from several participating brands.
Something I liked was that they had an ideal area for us to take pictures of the cosplayers. Everything was decorated in a circus style. The color red was predominant and there I was able to take pictures of several of the young cosplayers who attended. I really enjoy taking pictures of the cosplayers, it is commendable the dedication they have to create their costumes themselves. They are passionate about what they do and it shows.
Se hizo la rifa donde el ganador se eleg铆a tomando uno de los volantes que se repartieron durante tres meses, una joven conocida dentro de la comunidad fue la afortunada ganadora que recibi贸 regalos de varias marcas participantes.
Algo que me gust贸 fue que ten铆an una zona ideal para que pudi茅ramos tomar fotos de los cosplayers. Todo bajo una decoraci贸n estilo circo. Predominaba el color rojo y ah铆 pude tomar fotos a varios de los j贸venes cosplayers que asistieron. Disfruto mucho haciendo fotos a los cosplayers, es encomiable la dedicaci贸n que tienen para crear ellos mismos sus trajes. Sienten pasi贸n por lo que hacen y eso se nota.
It was an event for all audiences. The whole family could go and enjoy, regardless of age. Some of us are not young but we still enjoy geek culture.
With the closing of this first edition of Circus Fest, it will be the last event of this style for the rest of the year. The organizer said goodbye to the event at five in the afternoon and invited to next year, for the second edition, because the success of this event has already given the momentum to consolidate it as a new geek event of a growing community.
I hope you like the selected photos of the event.

Fue un evento para todos los p煤blicos. Toda la familia pod铆a ir y disfrutar, independientemente de la edad. Algunos de nosotros no somos j贸venes pero seguimos disfrutando de la cultura geek.
Con la clausura de esta primera edici贸n del Circus Fest, ser谩 el 煤ltimo evento de este estilo en lo que queda de a帽o. El organizador se despidi贸 del evento a las cinco de la tarde e invit贸 al pr贸ximo a帽o, para la segunda edici贸n, pues el 茅xito de este evento ya ha dado el impulso para consolidarlo como un nuevo evento geek de una comunidad en crecimiento.
Espero que les gusten las fotos seleccionadas del evento.
