San Antonio is hosting its debut SPACECON at the Freeman Expo Hall, an event for sci-fi fans and pop culture enthusiasts. The event will run from tomorrow through Sunday and aims to provide an engaging experience, as KENS 5 reported.
Attendees can expect to meet stars such as Josh Brolin, Hayden Christensen, Ewan McGregor, and Rosario Dawson, according to KENS 5. The convention will feature photo opportunities, celebrity panels, and various comic artists and illustrators, along with a "Trek or Treat" Halloween event for costumed children.
The event includes more than just meeting stars. Attendees should be prepared for autograph sessions and merchandise purchases. According to the Express News, autographs will range from under $100 to $225 for Ewan McGregor's signature. Additionally, over 200 artists and vendors will be showcasing their products.
Cosplay enthusiasts can participate in kids' and adults' costume contests for a chance to win a share of $2,000. Contestants must download the application from the official website and submit it to the ConCulture Booth by noon on the contest day. The Starcade will offer free-to-play video games and pinball.
Parents of children 14 and under can bring them for free admission using the promo code FREEKIDS. While VIP passes may be limited, multi-passes are available for those who act quickly. To avoid parking issues due to a nearby Spurs game, it is advisable to plan ahead; parking is set at $15.
