Geek Mob Roanoke 2016

Follow "Geek Mob Roanoke" on Facebook for the latest updates. This is the 6th Annual Geek Mob Roanoke. This event raises money for the "Blue Ridge Autism and Achievement Center" (BRAAC). We will be collecting donated comic books for local literacy programs. Family-friendly comic book convention atmosphere with a purpose! Vendors, Entertainment, Live Music, Speakers, Special Guests and More! On August 28, 2011 – Geek Mob Roanoke was born. We gathered in front of the Downtown Roanoke Main Library. We talked about International Read Comics in Public Day and swapped comic books. We collected comics for kids in the community to help support literacy. It was amazing – we were hooked! Today, we have grown and we have entertainment, vendors, music and fancy locations (INDOORS!), but we still collect comic books and do something good for the community.
