Comic Cons in Pennsylvania

What is coming up in Pennsylvania

The next shows in Pennsylvania: The Oracle: Fate of The Realms (November 7, Wilkes-Barre), BrickFair LEGO Fan Expo (November 7 to 8, Oaks), and Monster-Mania 69 (November 20 to 22, Oaks).

The big ones, running three days or more at a named venue: Zolocon 2027 at Valley Forge Casino Resort in King of Prussia, Zenkaikon 2027 at Lancaster County Convention Center in Lancaster, and Thy Geekdom Con at Greater Philadelphia Expo Center in Oaks.

By kind, that is 14 pop culture, 6 comic, and 1 anime.

Where the cons are

Oaks hosts the most, with 6 listings of the 41 we track in Pennsylvania. Pittsburgh (6), Lancaster (4), Erie (4), and Grantville (3) and others fill in the rest.

In all, 16 cities in Pennsylvania have hosted a con on our list, so there is usually one within a drive.

When to go

March and May are the busiest months for cons in Pennsylvania; January and August have had none on our list.

Shows that come back

We have 12 shows in Pennsylvania listed in more than one year, so they are a safe bet to return: Bloomsburg Comic Con in Bloomsburg, Thy Geekdom Con in Oaks, FAN EXPO Philadelphia in Philadelphia, and Monster Bash Conference Summer in Pittsburgh.

How this list is made

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

Philadelphia has hosted a major comic convention since May 2002, when Wizard World East opened at the Pennsylvania Convention Center. Wizard sold its convention business to FAN EXPO in 2021, which is why the show now carries that name. Source
