CapriCon Pop Culture Convention | 30 August 2025
Join us for the CapriCon Pop Culture Convention - the largest single-day pop culture convention in regional Queensland showcasing a wide spectrum of pop culture including comics, collectibles, cosplay, anime, medieval, gaming, art, steampunk and more.
From sunrise to sunset, an eager crowd dressed as everything from fantastic magical pirates to far-future armoured space marines flood the pavilions and stages with an open-minded enthusiasm not seen elsewhere for a thousand kilometres.
Our patrons, eager for community connection, seek out their people and really enliven our (growing) list of subcultures. Cosplayers seek out community in the love of ‘making’, our gamers get competitive in our retro gaming pavilion and IRL with tabletop, our creatives link up with their favourite fantasy and sci-fi authors and artists, medieval recreationists make camp in period garb, and pop culture enthusiasts get a chance to meet celebs and browse regional Queensland’s largest pop culture trade hall.
Are you ready to get your geek on and connect with our pop culture fans? With a number of sponsor packages available, let's discuss how your brand and CapriCon can work together!
