/PRNewswire/ -- GalaxyCon, the largest independently owned consumer
and fan engagement company, has launched another major expansion of
its convention offerings into the Miami,

the company's recent announcement that it is also expanding into
the Philadelphia PA, Orlando FL, Chicago

Savannah GA markets.
GalaxyCon Continues Major Expansion With
Three Shows In Two New Markets.
"We're excited to bring our unmatched pop-culture fan
experiences to the people of St.
Louis and the surrounding areas," says Mike Broder, founder of GalaxyCon. "Also, our
company got its start back in 2006 with fan events in South Florida, so it feels really great to
bring them home once again."
With these new events, GalaxyCon continues its unprecedented
growth and dedication to bringing engaging events to even more fans
and cities across the United
States in 2024, 2025, and beyond. The newly announced events
are:
Nightmare Weekend Miami – October 18-20, 2024 at the Miami Airport
Convention Center in Miami,
Florida.

Florida.
GalaxyCon St. Louis – October
10-12, 2025 at America's Center Convention Complex in
St. Louis, Missouri.
GalaxyCon brings engaging events to cities across the United States for more than a convention.
Boasting over 400 hours of must-see programming, these events are a
festival for fans and celebration of nerd culture. Meet and greet
with your favorite stars, bond with your fellow fans on the show
floor, get a best friends tattoo, battle it out in the arcade, and
then party the night away. GalaxyCon After Dark offers
entertainment into the wee hours of the morning, not shuddering the
doors at midnight.
At Nightmare Weekend, the crypt opens up and spine-tingling fun
rises from the depths over three days of scary celebrities,
petrifying parties, villainous vendors, ghastly gaming, creepy
cosplay contests, and fearful fun for everyone!
Animate! is an animation celebration with three days of anime,
animation, cosplay and more. Animate! features entertainment,
Q&As, video and tabletop gaming, panels, costume contests,
cosplay wrestling, and so much more fandom to explore!
Tickets are on sale now for these events at
https://galaxycon.com/pages/live-events. Special celebrity guests
for each city will be announced on the GalaxyCon website and social
media in the coming months.
