OzCon is the world’s longest-running Oz convention, celebrating L. Frank Baum and The Land of Oz for over 60 years!We are excited to bring this year’s OzCon International to the Media Capital of the World at our new venue, Hotel Burbank.
We welcome fans of every aspect of Oz, from the original 1900 book The Wonderful Wizard of Oz, to the new blockbuster Wicked movie.
Each year, we explore different Oz themes, and in celebration of the 40th anniversary of Return to Oz, this year’s themes will include a deep dive into the beloved, lost and lesser-known Oz projects of the Walt Disney Company. This includes Walt’s, The Rainbow Road to Oz, his failed attempts to create a sequel to MGM’s The Wizard of Oz, popular Disneyland record releases, the madness and mayhem of the Muppets’ take on Oz, and the live-action film Oz: The Great and Powerful. There’s so much to discover!
Additionally, we will examine the popularity of Wicked (Part 1), the 50th anniversary of the Broadway production of The Wiz, and mark the 125th anniversary of The Wonderful Wizard of Oz book, with a dash of 1939’s The Wizard of Oz.
OzCon activities will include presentations, expert panels, a dealer’s room, exhibits, trivia contests, a costume contest, the Oz auction, live performances, and much more!
Our special guest speakers will be announced in the spring, so be sure to check back for updates. Follow us on social media and visit our website for additional info.
