WonderCon 2025
- see all dates
Wonders never cease! WonderCon returns to the Anaheim Convention Center.
WonderCon is a celebration of all things pop culture, with a heavy emphasis on fantasy/sci fi movies and television, comic books, video games, and animation.
The weekend is built around panel discussions and presentations covering a broad range of interests. Among the highlights this year is a 25th anniversary celebration with the director & writer of The Emperor’s New Groove.
Studios sneak peek their upcoming blockbusters; show creators spill secrets on small screen favorites, and fans get the rare opportunity to interact with stars. The programming schedule details the panels, signings, screenings, and more.
In addition, exhibitors ranging from celebrities signing autographs to mom 'n' pop comic stores fill the exhibit hall. Artists Alley allows creators to show off their work. Exhibitors with Con exclusives this year include Funko, Loungefly, and Mondo.
