Super Con Fest 2026

Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.

We truly don’t have the words to express how grateful we are.

To every attendee, vendor, cosplayer, entertainer, volunteer, and supporter who took a chance on SuperCon Fest 2026- thank you for believing in us. More than 500 of you came out to experience something brand new, and that means the world.

Somehow, we pulled this together in less than two months. It wasn’t perfect, and we learned more than we ever imagined… but seeing all of you laughing, creating memories, showing off incredible cosplay, supporting small businesses, and building this community made every our sore feet and sunburn worth it.

We’re already taking notes, dreaming bigger, and planning the next one. (save the date for May 15 & 16!!)

From the bottom of our hearts, thank you for making the very first SuperCon Fest something we’ll never forget.
You’re the real superheroes.

Super Con Fest brings everything you love about convention culture outside — into open air, festival style. Two days of vendors, creators, cosplay, live performances, panels, and gaming at Bull Run Special Events Center in Centreville, VA. No convention center. No crowds packed into hallways. Just your people, your fandoms, and a whole lot of summer.

  • Bag checks are in place at all entry points
  • Re-entry is allowed — come and go as you please

Weapon & Prop Policy

No Real Weapons: Live firearms, functional projectile weapons, sharpened metal blades, explosives, or any realistic tactical gear are strictly prohibited.

Prop Materials: Approved props must be constructed from lightweight, safe materials such as foam, cardboard, plastic, papier-mâché, or lightweight wood.

No Functional Projectiles: Bows must be unstrung or loosely strung, and arrows must have foam or soft tips (no sharp metal or plastic tips).

Blood, Gore, & Attire Guidelines

Family-Friendly Environment: Because Super Con Fest is an all-ages, community-focused event, we ask that all cosplays remain family-friendly.

Blood & Gore: Mild, stylized, or theatrical FX makeup/blood is permitted, but excessive, overly realistic, graphic gore or horror elements are not allowed. If a costume is deemed too intense for young children, we may ask you to modify it.

Coverage: Standard "public decency" rules apply—no excessive skin exposure or provocative outfits.
