It regularly features panels, contests, and screenings of giant monster movies at the 1,000-seat Pickwick Theatre. G-Fest is presently held in Rosemont, Illinois, formerly at the Crowne Plaza O’Hare Hotel, and currently at the Hyatt Regency O'Hare Hotel.
Actors, directors, and special effects technicians who worked on kaiju films in Japan are frequent guests at G-Fest. Since 1999, one guest per year has been honored with the "Mangled Skyscraper Award," sculpted by Gene Rizzardi, for their lasting contributions to the kaiju genre. Consistent features of G-Fest are a Dealers' Room full of kaiju memorabilia, video game tournaments, a 24/7 broadcast of kaiju and tokusatsu content on hotel room television sets, and contests in art, film, modeling, and cosplay. In recent years, it has also introduced a large Artists' Alley and film festival for independent kaiju productions.
G-Fest was founded by G-FAN magazine editor and publisher J. D. Lees, a Canadian high school teacher.
