MANHATTAN, NY — Fanatics Fest NYC 2024.
A Comic-Con for sports, culture, and collectibles, went down this weekend at the Javits Center, with the best former/active athletes in sports and most well-known talent in pop culture, flooding the festival’s lineup. The three-day inaugural event, featuring exclusive merchandise, immersive brand activations, memorabilia displays, autograph sessions, live panels, and photo opportunities–an event in which only Fanatics’ CEO Michael Rubin can pull off–was a celebration that united sports fans not just from New York, but from across the globe.
“There’s not another company that could pull this off because they don’t have the relationships with athletes in different businesses and leagues,” said Rubin, who witnessed over 70,000 fans attend 2024 Fanatics Fest in New York City throughout the three days combined.
