MEGACON Orlando 2027
MEGACON Orlando runs May 20–23, 2027 at Orange County Convention Center, Orlando.
What it is
MEGACON Orlando is a four-day pop-culture fan convention covering comics, sci-fi, horror, anime, gaming and cosplay. It is a public, family-friendly event, not a trade show. The program mixes celebrity guests, voice actors, comic creators and cosplayers with a large shopping floor.
Artists compete in sketch duels, and "How To" workshops run alongside panels and costume events. FAN EXPO HQ produces it, part of Informa; the organizer describes FAN EXPO HQ as the largest comic con producer in the world.
