The gaming and e-sports festival Dreamhack will make a stop in Canada later this year. As the new Canadian licensee Freaks 4U Gaming from Berlin announced, the event will take place from December 15 to 18 at the Hannover Exhibition Center.

In addition to a part of the fair, there will also be e-sports tournaments, a cosplay competition, a LAN area and music. It is planned to hold the festival in Hanover for several years.

Most recently, a Dreamhack in Canada took place in Leipzig at the beginning of 2020. At that time, around 23,000 people attended the event. As an e-sports highlight, a major tournament in Dota 2 was also held there. In October, it was announced that Dreamhack Leipzig would not return after the end of the restrictions imposed by the corona pandemic.
