Marscon 2020

We like to think of MarsCon as a weekend long party for people who enjoy Science Fiction and Fantasy. It’s a chance to gather with 1,400 or so of your closest friends (or make new friends if you don’t know all 1,400 of us), and talk about science fiction, fantasy, cosplay, gaming, your favorite author, or whatever else you like to talk about.

If you’re looking to game, we have lots of gaming. We’ve had Special Music from Mikey Mason, Jonah Knight, Danny Birt, The Blibbering Humdingers, Valentine Wolfe and many others. Also, the excellent comedy of Luna-C and Nerdlesque. We’ve had Writers, Artists, and Costumers who discussed their trade. We’ve had scientists from NASA. The 501st, Klingons and many other clubs line our hallways. We’ve even been visited by some friendly GHOSTS!

We always have Marso the Martian! And, Panels and Workshops, a great Dealers Room, Artist Alley, and an excellent Art show. There is our Costume Contest and Charity! We feature programming for your kids, so you can bring along the whole family, and they won’t get bored!

Add to all that, the Bounteous Magnificence of our Martian ConSuites and you have a great recipe for a con.

Basically, we are lots of fun for everyone.
