Last year was a smash hit as we established Fear Con as your new Halloween tradition! Fear Con is already one of the largest shows of it's kind in the country and a truly unique experience. Celebrating all things Halloween and Horror, Fear Con delivered something for everyone including an entire hall dedicated to kid's called Spooky Con! We are working hard to make Fear Con bigger and better in ev
ery way. New experiences are being added weekly, so check back for regular updates! Last year our theme was "Day of the Dead". The year we will be theming the show VINTAGE HORROR - The Golden Age of Hollywood movie monsters reimagined for a modern day! This theme will be a suggestion for those who want to participate in the theme, but ALL COSTUMES AND COSPLAYS are welcome. The theme is a visual style and merely a suggestion.
-Vendors and artists. We will have over 200 vendor booths and over 50 artists and makers. We will be requiring all vendors to dress up and add something to the overall experience of the show.
-Improved ambience! We will have a darker more nefarious feel to the show. Vendors will be lighting their booths as the show will be darker and creepier!
-Entertainment- We had our main stage rocking with truly amazing talent. This year we will be returning with more unique fire acts, sword swallowers, arialists, acrobats, dancers and much more!
-Roaming Entertainment- Fear Con will be a festival-like atmosphere with talent and roaming performers all throughout the show.
-Panels and workshops- You asked and we listened! We will have a entire series of panels and workshops. We can't wait to begin announcing the lineup.
-Miss Fear Con Pageant- Our Miss Fear Con girls knocked it out of the park with our take on a dark beauty pageant. All of the girls exceded our wildest expectations with their incredible cosplays and personas. The Miss Fear Con pageant will begin before the show and the coronation ceremony will be on Saturday night on the main stage. Miss Fear Con will be awarded a $500 cash prize and custom MFC crown, $250 for 2nd, and $150 for 3rd.
