BAY-CON began as an idea in 2019. While the world shut down, BAY-CON hibernated, waiting to break free. BAY-CON erupted from its slumber in the spring of 2021, seeing over 600 participants! BAY-CON struck back in 2023 with over 1400 participants, and hosted over 4800 in 2024!
WE ARE SO EXCITED TO SEE YOU IN 2025!!
BAY-CON will again feature a large vendor space, AMAZING taco truck (and other options), vintage video gaming, cosplay contest, Trivia, celebrity guests and so Much MORE!!!
