About the Calendar of Genre Events

    FAQs

    What is a science fiction, fantasy or horror convention?

    A fun event for fans of science fiction, fantasy and/or horror. Some conventions are general, others are focused on specific TV shows or films, such as Star Trek, Doctor Who, or Star Wars. Some are focused on a type of media, such as literature, pulp magazines, or comics. These events offer fans a chance to meet, socialize, learn, buy things, play games, show off costumes or props they’ve made, and generally have a good time with people who share similar interests.

    There are conventions and other events held at locations around the world every week of the year. Check this Calendar for ones that might be coming up near you … or where you happen to go on vacation. You are a genre traveler, right?
