NEAR-BY SF/F CONS
WindyCon and Picnicon are just two of many fine Science Fiction/Fantasy Cons in the midwest.
We offer the following list of some of the others. Inclusion here does not imply endorsement, and exclusion doesn’t imply that we have any quibbles with a con.
This list is arranged alphabetically by state, then alphabetically by location of the respective cons, then — where appropriate — by con name. After a con is held, we leave the existing link active until we receive the link for the following year’s event. Worldcon, NASFiC, and movable cons are at the bottom.
You may scroll down, or click below to go directly to the listings within your favorite state or category:
Please note that each of the con links will open in a new tab or window.
