"I've been frequenting Comic Cons for quite some time and I've always thought they’re not as fun as they could be. Once you go to a few shows, they begin to feel overly transactional. We want to change that and this is why we’ve made this show for all fandoms! We want people to come and have fun, check out cool comics, collectibles, and trading cards while showing off their cool sneakers and cosplay to really truly celebrate their fandoms and pop culture passions while viewing the cool things on display from amazing artists and vendors."
FandomCon's three-day celebration of pop culture and more will merge multiple worlds together, where collectors, celebrities, creators, artists, and their biggest fans unite for an unforgettable experience. More than just a marketplace to buy, trade, and sell cards, comics, and collectibles, this particular FandomCon brings the immersive elements of Comic Con into the experience with panels featuring some of the most beloved talent from the Bay Area and around the world, passionate vendors that represent these fandoms through their craft, a nostalgic arcade area, a modern gaming area, etc. Tickets go on sale at https://fandomcon.com/tickets/.
"FandomCon is for everyone, no matter what their fandom is. No matter what your favorite cosplay ensemble or favorite fan tee is, if you’re a lover of zombies, have a favorite comic book character, TV show, book, movie or passion, we hope everyone in the Bay Area who wants to celebrate their fandom will come out and show it," Galaxy continued. "The beauty of our show is there will be a celebration of all fandoms under one roof. We want people to show up, have fun and just be themselves. Whatever it is, we’ve made a way to celebrate everyone’s fandoms easily by bringing one of the most unique Cons to ever come to the Bay Area."
