Demosplash 2023

Demosplash is celebrating its thirteenth year!
Demosplash 2023 will be held 3-4 November 2023.

Demosplash is one of the largest and longest-running demoparties in North America, catering both to newcomers to the demoscene as well as established artists. We show demos live on original hardware as much as humanly possible, offering a viewing experience that can't be matched by emulators or recordings. In addition to screenings, we feature a variety of events, including tech talks, workshops, and celebrations of retro gaming.

News:

Demosplash is proud to announce our headline musical performer for 2023: DRAC-0, aka Dracorean, is an incredible chiptune DJ best known for spinning high-energy shows in VR raves. Her style mixes classic oldschool chiptunes, remixes, chiptune-style EDM, and retro visuals for intense unforgettable experiences. We're honored to welcome her to the Demosplash stage for one of her first - and not to be missed - live in-person performances! Check out some of her music on Mixcloud

Check out our talk and events lineup, now updated for 2023. We will of course have a whole roomful of retro gaming computers (Sharp X68000, Apple ][, Sega Genesis/Mega Drive, NES, and much much more) for anyone who wants to take a break from the demos or talks and play some video games!

In the unfortunate event you can't make it, our friends at SceneSat will be streaming the whole event live.
