“LaughingMoonCon hopes to introduce a new generation to the sci-fi, fantasy, comic book, and gaming convention scene. This is a unique opportunity for veteran convention attendees and first timers to get involved with the long tradition of pop culture conventions.
Held at Desert Edge High School, students and families can enjoy the event with the local community. All proceeds from the convention go to extracurricular clubs at Desert Edge (last year, the DE marching band was able to attend the Fiesta Bowl Parade along with the Arizona 501st thanks to funds raised from Laughing Moon Con). Wear your favorite super hero, sci-fi, horror, or fantasy costume. Lots of photo opportunities!
For the younger generation, this is a rare chance to meet and speak with authors and artists during guest speaking engagements and panel discussions. Learn about the writing process first hand, or watch a character sketch come to life! Come spend the day under the Laughing Moon!”
