When to go

June and March are the busiest months for cons in Minnesota.

Shows that come back

We have 3 shows in Minnesota listed in more than one year, so they are a safe bet to return: Narrativity 2027 in Plymouth, MNCBA SpringCon in Falcon Heights, and Anime Detour in Minneapolis.

How this list is made

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

CONvergence, a fan-run science fiction and fantasy convention, was first held on July 2, 1999 in Bloomington with 1,398 members and now runs at the Hyatt Regency Minneapolis, organized by Convergence Events, Inc. In some years it has reached about 6,000 paid members. Source
