Pan Kei-Con: THE BRUNCHEONING

What could be better than brunch? How about wearing your favourite brunch-inspired outfits and immersing yourself in the vibrant world of Kei-Con? Join us for the egg-citing return of the fourth installment of PAN Kei-Con: The Bruncheoning! This 3-day event will occur from October 18th to 20th, 2024 at The North York Central Library Concourse Space (5120 Yonge Street, North York, Ontario).
Please note: this is a private event held in Toronto Public Library event space, and not an event run by the Toronto Public Library.

Kei (pronounced like the letter K) is the Japanese word for Style! Similarly to how we’d use Core to indicate a fashion or style in English (for example Cottagecore, Fairycore, etc) you see it appended to the names of many Japanese street fashions (for example, Visual Kei, Natural Kei, etc).

Kei-Con, a celebration of Kei, is a 3-day Alternative Fashion Event held annually in Toronto, Ontario. It is held in the fall and open to all alternative and Japanese street fashion (J-fashion). 2024 will be our fourth year running the event.

Friday evening focuses on a second hand alt clothing swap. Saturday focuses on the Fashion Show, and Vendor’s Hall. Sunday focuses on the Tea Party. Due to venue change the Sunday Only shopping passes have been removed.
Please review our Code of Conduct for more details

Dress code is fashion fun: family-friendly alt fashion, J-fashion, and fun outlandish fashion in general! Break out that tux you never get a chance to wear, the fun lolita fashion coord or the neon green balloon pants you've been eyeing for ages. Style up anything from your wardrobe but your average jeans, khakis and sweats and you'll find kindred spirits here at Kei-Con. Please note that this is a fashion-focused event (not costumes/cosplay, please!) and for the safety of all staff and guests our mandatory mask policy will return this year.

For the security of all attendees and guests, Kei-Con badges will *only* be issued directly to the ticket holder listed on the registration, and cannot be given/sold to any another individual, nor picked up on behalf of others. If you are unable to attend and want to transfer your ticket to another person please contact Kei-Con Staff directly first and we will be happy to assist. Circumventing this rule and providing admission to banned individuals (who have been banned from previous events or other local fashion communities) will result in you receiving a ban for this event and future years of Kei-Con.

In the case of tickets selling out, the waitlist for Tea Party tickets will be honoured through Eventbrite's system. Please contact Kei-Con directly to request a refund if you are no longer able to attend, in order to allow the next person on the waitlist a chance to buy their ticket. Refunds will not be available after September 18th 11:59:59PM, 2024.

Between September 18th and October 3rd we are happy to offer a 48 hour grace period in the case of ticket errors or accidental purchases, but after October 3rd no additional refunds/cancellations can be processed.

Attendees, and especially staff/volunteers of the event are asked to remove their badges when visiting non-convention areas of the Toronto Public Library, so as to avoid attendees being mistaken for Toronto Public Library staff members.

Kei-Con 2024 is a fully masked event. Attendees will be denied access at registration if they refuse to enter with a mask. Additional masks will be available at the registration desk. (They are cute ombre colours!)
