San Diego’s Nova nightclub transformed into an immersive ‘Peacefest’ to celebrate the return of ‘Peacemaker.’ The event featured interactive booths, live music, and unique merchandise. Attendees enjoyed activities including gaming stations and exclusive photo opportunities, culminating in a VIP party. Fans left with excitement for the upcoming season, marking a memorable highlight of the summer.
San Diego, CA – HBO Max transformed the Nova nightclub in the Gaslamp District into an immersive spectacle called “Peacefest” from July 24 to July 26. This vibrant event celebrated the highly anticipated return of ‘Peacemaker,’ the popular DC superhero series, with a full-throttle 80’s glam rock bar experience.
Guests were welcomed into the event through a unique “glowing Quantum Unfolding Chamber,” which set the tone for an unforgettable journey into Peacemaker’s world. Key attractions included the iconic “Peacecycle” vehicle from the show’s second season, providing fans with a tangible connection to the series. Interactive booths, such as Adebayo’s Hero Test Photo Booth, engaged attendees with opportunities to dive deeper into the storyline and characters.
The excitement continued at Economos’ Ops Mortal Kombat gaming station, where fans could play Peacemaker-themed games, enhancing the overall interactive experience. An open bar was also available throughout the weekend, contributing to the high-energy atmosphere that attendees reveled in. Furthermore, some lucky fans had the chance to meet Peacemaker’s animated sidekick, Eagly, from Dollywood’s eagle sanctuary, creating memorable moments for participants.
Live music was a significant highlight of Peacefest, featuring a rotating lineup of bands that performed throughout the event. Among the performances was the show’s theme song, “Do Ya Wanna Taste It?” by the band Wig Wam, adding to the vibrant 80’s glam rock vibe that defined the celebration. Fans enjoyed additional themed experiences at Harcourt’s KO Corner Bar, where they could indulge in exclusive drinks, and at Vigilante’s Hero S*** Shop, where they shopped for unique merchandise from various brands.
Merchandise was available for fans eager to take home souvenirs, and lines were reportedly shorter than those at the Comic-Con Convention Center, making the shopping experience more pleasant. Clever photo opportunities were strategically placed throughout the event, allowing attendees to capture their memorable moments. Exclusive items such as the Peacemaker helmet also sparked excitement among many fans, rewarding their dedication and enthusiasm.
Guests experienced the festivities for approximately 45 minutes, allowing them ample time to soak in the atmosphere without feeling rushed. On the final night of Peacefest, a VIP party took place, featuring appearances from notables such as James Gunn and star John Cena, as well as lively performances from the band Foxy Shazam and Steel Panther, further elevating the energy of the event.
Overall, Peacefest was described by attendees as an immensely enjoyable experience, with some calling it “the best day of my life.” The event successfully connected fans with the upcoming second season of ‘Peacemaker,’ set to premiere on August 21, 2025, and it teased a broader connection to the new DC Universe.
