# All-Ages Pop Culture & Fandom Event
Dust off those capes, grab your favorite set of dice, and get ready to start your next adventure at the Main Library on Saturday, March 22, from 11 a.m. - 5 p.m. It's a celebration of all the books, comics, games, TV shows, and movies you love... all in the heart of downtown Jacksonville! Make memories, make friends and show off your best cosplay or fandom-inspired art this Spring Break!
# Fandoms Assemble
This FREE event will feature cosplay contests (and prizes) for kids, teens and adults; K-Pop dancers, one-shot Dungeons & Dragons sessions; video game tournaments with our friends at Extra Life; pop culture trivia and so much more! Plus, it's a great chance to find out all of the ways you can borrow graphic novels, manga, D&D manuals and more!
Pro Tip: If you're not already using hoopla Digital to get FREE comics and manga, here's a sign from the universe (and your Library) that you should start now! Don't have a card yet? For access to Digital Library apps like hoopla, faster checkout of your big book haul on the day of the event, and easier check-in at all the awesome programs you're going to want to attend, make sure you sign up for a library card online or at your favorite Jacksonville Public Library location!
#Showcasing Cosplayers and Fandom Artists
Table Applications
Local artists, writers, cosplayers, and makers will have the chance to showcase or sell their original and fandom-inspired creations at the event! Note: Table applications closed on January 25, 2025. We are currently in the process of reaching out to everyone who applied for this FREE opportunity. This year, there were more applications than there are spaces, so unfortunately we will not be able to extend an invitation to everyone. Stay tuned for announcements about Beaches Library Comic Fest (first Saturday in May) and other opportunities to work with the Library.
#Check Back for Updates
We're hoping to make Jax Pop Con Vol. 2 even bigger and better than the first. We'll be announcing special guests, programs, drop-in activities, and more right here (as soon as they are confirmed). We're truly geeking out about all the possibilities!
Stay tuned for an exciting announcement about our keynote Lit Chat Author Interview!
