Five Worlds, One Weekend
What's Inside
Three floors of convention under one roof — from longboxes to live-action duels. There's a corner for every kind of fan, and it's all ages, all weekend.
Comics & Creators
Hundreds of longboxes, indie publishers, and signings with writers and artists in Artist Alley.
Cosplay
The Saturday masquerade, repair station, photo sets, and a kids' costume parade Sunday morning.
Tabletop & Gaming
Open gaming library, tournaments, demos from local game stores, and a retro arcade row.
Anime & Screenings
Fan-panel theater, a cosplay karaoke stage, and a late-night screening block on Saturday.
Collectibles
Vendor hall packed with toys, vinyl, trading cards, and one-of-a-kind finds from regional sellers.
All Ages, Always
An all-ages event from start to finish, with a quiet sensory room open all three days of the con.
