Summary

  • The Vintage Computer Festival East is taking place in Wall, New Jersey, and will run all weekend, after having started on 19 March.
  • The event includes a focus on programming workshops for the TRS-80 Color Computer, as well as featuring a presentation from computing expert Brian Kernighan.
  • The theme of the event is “The Sounds of Retro”, which will entail a focus on chip tunes for those more interested in Commodore 64 machines.
  • Anyone wishing to attend can still do so, and the event is held annually, so those who miss out this year can perhaps attend in 2026.
  • There are also other vintage computing festivals in other US states, and across the world, with an example taking place in Canberra, Australia, every June.
