Frequently Asked Questions

A Convention (aka con) is an event in which fans of any sort of media can meet with other fans and celebrate their passions together as a community. This includes panels, merchandise, competitions, events, and more. People are also welcomed and somewhat encouraged to dress as their favorite characters in an act called cosplay. All this brings together fans of all types and helps them find like-minded people all within in a fun event.

It's a fun event to share your passions and find other like-minded individuals. It's a great place to make friends, learn more about your favorite stuff, play some games, or maybe even show off your costume!
