Everypony’s a true, true friend… until they’re not.
WHO ARE WE?
SeaquestriaFest was created to offer a loving community for Bronies everywhere and to keep the magic (bing-bong!) alive and thriving along the Maryland shore—where the echoes of an unsolved mystery linger. Set against the backdrop of a laid-back beachfront getaway, our convention invites you to follow the clues, trade secrets, and piece together the truth lurking just beneath the ocean waves...
Our convention is located at The Grand Hotel, Ocean City. Over the course of your weekend, you can expect:
› beautiful beachfront views
› short distance from the boardwalk
› short distance from assateague island
› ada-friendly hotel
› hotel pool
› free parking
› wonderful vendors
› mostly family-friendly hotel and panels
› and more!
WHAT TO EXPECT?
MEET THE MASCOTS
MR. THUNDER
This one-of-a-kind Hippogriff detective moves fast! Whether he’s chasing leads or chasing highs, Mr. Thunder's there with a smoky pipe, sharp eyes, and even sharper instincts. A gentleman who knows how to party once the case is closed, he balances extreme sleuthing with extreme fun! Catch him at the nearest nightclub, arcade, or karaoke bar.
MISS SALTWATER TAFFY
Saltwater Taffy, or Miss Taffy, is cursed with a face of perpetual guilt. A sweet, gentle Hippogriff maid, she spends her time tidying, doodling, and fretting with her purple hair bows. Miss Taffy adores food, too—especially anything sweet or savory—and is happy to share! Just don't mind the constant glances over her shoulder... she's innocent, really!
Ms. Phoenix
The desert rose of Assateague Island. Ms. Phoenix is a wild mare with a blood-red smile, and always two steps ahead of the competition. What she's competing for? She'll never tell. Folk say she’s useful; others say she’s dangerous. Either way, she knows every shortcut, every happy haunt, and every shadowy corner where trouble lurks after dark...
