What is coming up in Florida
The next shows in Florida: Charlie’s Cards and Collectibles (October 17, Fort Myers), Spooky Empire (October 30 to November 1, Orlando), and Charlie’s Anime Con (December 12, Melbourne).
The big ones, running three days or more at a named venue: Spooky Empire at Hyatt Regency Orlando in Orlando, Pensacon at Pensacola Bay Center in Pensacola, and Collective Con at Prime F. Osborn III Convention Center in Jacksonville.
By kind, that is 11 pop culture, 4 anime, 3 comic, and 1 gaming.
Where the cons are
Orlando hosts the most, with 11 listings of the 52 we track in Florida. Miami (5), Fort Myers (4), Pensacola (3), and Jacksonville (3) and others fill in the rest.
In all, 25 cities in Florida have hosted a con on our list, so there is usually one within a drive.
When to go
March and February are the busiest months for cons in Florida; November has had none on our list.
Shows that come back
We have 9 shows in Florida listed in more than one year, so they are a safe bet to return: PokeKon-Fest - Lakeland in Lakeland, Anime Festival Orlando 2027 in Orlando, Ocala Comic Con in Ocala, and Pensacon in Pensacola.
How this list is made
Searching for a comic con near me from Florida? This page is that list. Every Florida con here was found on the organizer's own website and is re-checked weekly. A show that disappears from its source for three weeks in a row is hidden until it comes back, and the last update date is on the homepage. Dates and tickets always come from the official site, linked on every event page.
A bit of Florida con history
MegaCon Orlando was first held under that name in March 1995, growing out of a Mega-Show that started in December 1993. It runs at the Orange County Convention Center and reports attendance of over 200,000, which puts it level with New York Comic Con as the largest fan convention in North America. Source
GalaxyCon, which now runs shows in a dozen cities, started in 2006 as Florida Supercon at a hotel in Hollywood, Florida, founded by Mike Broder. The Supercon name and the Florida events were sold to ReedPop in 2019 and the rest of the shows became GalaxyCon. Source
