PopCon Indy, Indianapolis’ celebration of all things pop culture, is back for its eighth anniversary, and they’ve raised the bar for the first public event at the Indiana Convention Center in 2021. Attendees can meet Emily Swallow from hit series Supernatural and the Mandalorian, Holly Marie Combs from Charmed and Pretty Little Liars, Kate Flannery and David Koechner from The Office, Jim O’Heir from Parks and Recreation, Jim Cummings, the voice actor of Winnie the Pooh and CJ and Richie Ramone from The Ramones, just to name a few.

PopCon’s true mission is to give creators – of all kinds – a platform to find new audiences. Instead of focusing on one specific fandom, PopCon Indy flips the script on the typical con experience by focusing on all genres of fandom.

In honor of PopCon Indy’s eighth anniversary, the convention will include its second annual hybrid International Film Festival starting July 8. General admission ticket holders can enjoy more than 65 films from all over the world at the convention center or stream from home. In addition, attendees will have access to laser tag, a virtual reality arcade, board and video gaming, Ultimate Cosplay Championship, podcast live stage, Twisted Toonz, more than 2,000 square feet of Lego displays, public evening party on Saturday and more – all with a general admission ticket. PopCon is also family-friendly, with interactive areas throughout, kids cosplay contest and fun, educational opportunities the whole family can enjoy.
