Courtney Accocella ‘17/ Emertainment Monthly Assistant Web Editor
It’s the last official day of VidCon, though Disney Day is pretty official at this point. The amazing events happening over in Anaheim haven’t slowed down though. We picked the events we’d be hitting up before the end of another VidCon!
Now this list does not include the Q&A’s and main stage events for specific channels. Our list features the topic panels that will be happening. Each event has certain ticket track requirements. So make sure that you have the right pass to enter these event before you start queuing up. But without further ado, here are our top picks for Saturday at VidCon!
