Comic Cons in Louisiana

What is coming up in Louisiana

The next shows in Louisiana: Morgan City Collector Fest (November 7 to 8, Morgan City), St Tammany Comic Con (November 14 to 15, Mandeville), and FAN EXPO New Orleans (January 8 to 10, 2027, New Orleans).

The big ones, running three days or more at a named venue: FAN EXPO New Orleans at New Orleans Ernest N. Morial Convention Center in New Orleans, Star Trek: The Cruise X at Royal Caribbean’s Mariner of the Seas in New Orleans, and WasabiCon NOLA at Hyatt Regency New Orleans in New Orleans.

By kind, that is 6 pop culture and 1 comic.

Where the cons are

New Orleans hosts the most, with 5 listings of the 15 we track in Louisiana. Gonzales (2), Morgan City (2), Mandeville (2), and Lake Charles (2) and others fill in the rest.

In all, 7 cities in Louisiana have hosted a con on our list, so there is usually one within a drive.

When to go

February and April are the busiest months for cons in Louisiana; June, September, October, and December have had none on our list.

Shows that come back

We have 3 shows in Louisiana listed in more than one year, so they are a safe bet to return: WasabiCon NOLA in New Orleans, Louisiana Retro Con in Gonzales, and CYPHACON 2027 in Lake Charles.

How this list is made

Searching for a comic con near me from Louisiana? This page is that list. Every Louisiana 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.
