HNOC’s Education Department invites chess lovers of all ages to the Third Annual Chess, presented by HNOC Chess Club. Chess Fest participants will craft DIY chessboards, play chess puzzle games, move as “human chess pieces” on a giant chessboard, and join a friendly fast-chess tournament. Whether you’re already an experienced player or someone just curious about learning the fundamentals of the game, HNOC’s youth-led Chess Fest is the place to be! Chess Fest is FREE, but RSVP’s are required.
