More exciting celebrity appearances will be announced leading up to the four-day event that also features familyfriendly activities, shopping, workshops, enhanced anime programming, cosplay contests and attractions.
“We’re thrilled to welcome our fans back to MEGACON Orlando — a playground for fans of comics, sci-fi, gaming and more — for an impressive weekend of programming, celebrity appearances and interactive activities,” said Fan Expo HQ Vice President Andrew Moyes. “From cast reunions and celebrity meet-and-greets, to the always interesting Artist Alley and cosplay contests, MEGACON Orlando 2020 will be an exciting, high-energy weekend for fans of all ages.”
