GalaxyCon Returns to Raleigh July 25th – 28th
With the 4th of July celebrations concluded, we’ve reached the height of Con Season. This includes not only the iconic San Diego Comic-Con but also GalaxyCon’s flagship event, GalaxyCon Raleigh. GalaxyCon, a leading independent consumer and fan engagement company, is poised to make its return to Raleigh this month with its most grandiose event yet. As one of the crown jewels of the GalaxyCon series and the largest convention at the Raleigh Convention Center, GalaxyCon Raleigh is preparing to offer an unmatched experience for fans of all ages.
Dennis Edwards: President and CEO of Visit Raleigh
“Raleigh is delighted to host GalaxyCon each year and witness this fun and exciting convention continue to grow and flourish. GalaxyCon significantly boosts tourism and local activity, and our local partners look forward to welcoming attendees every July. This fantastic convention draws locals and visitors alike to downtown Raleigh to nerd-out about their favorite shows, movies, entertainment stars, and creators.”
Building on its success in areas like Raleigh, GalaxyCon continues to broaden its presence throughout the United States. Newly added markets such as Philadelphia, Cleveland, Orlando, Oklahoma City, Savannah, San Jose, and Chicago are now experiencing the enchantment of GalaxyCon, solidifying its status as a foremost national entity in pop culture conventions. And its events like Raleigh that helps set the standard.
Mike Broder: Founder and President of GalaxyCon
“We are thrilled to bring GalaxyCon back to Raleigh. The support from the community and the incredible turnout each year motivates us to keep growing and enhancing the experience for our attendees. We’re excited to see the continued positive impact on the city and to provide fans with more opportunities to celebrate their passions.”
Like in previous years, GalaxyCon Raleigh is set to showcase a varied array of celebrity guests, captivating panels, interactive exhibits, and a vibrant marketplace. Participants can anticipate encounters with beloved celebrities, explorations of new artistry, and engagement in cosplay competitions, gaming tournaments, and more. Of course, it doesn’t hurt that GalaxyCon celebrities enjoy visiting the area.
Samantha Veilleux, Sr. Vice President of Talent for GalaxyCon
“Raleigh’s event is a standout success largely because our celebrity guests genuinely love coming here. It’s incredibly easy to book talent because they know they’ll be welcomed by amazing fans, enjoy fantastic local restaurants, and explore rich cultural attractions. The enthusiasm of the Raleigh community truly makes GalaxyCon a special experience for everyone involved.
