Dragon Con: It's only a day away
Dragon Con returns Thursday for the 40th year
Tens of thousands of pop culture fans are arriving in downtown Atlanta as Dragon Con officially returns for its 40th anniversary celebration.
ATLANTA - Heroes, villains, monsters, and more are taking over downtown Atlanta as we speak, as Dragon Con returns for another five spellbinding days!
The massive annual pop culture convention officially kicks off tomorrow and runs through Monday, September 7th – but fans are already crowding into the five host hotels, including the Hyatt Regency Atlanta.
The event is celebrating its 40th anniversary this year, with more than 75,000 people expected to attend to celebrate the worlds of science fiction, fantasy, comics, gaming, and more.
Highlights of the five days include celebrity panels and meet-and-greets, live gaming, cosplay contests, and the huge Dragon Con parade happening Saturday.
It's a tradition for Good Day Atlanta to spend a morning at the Hyatt Regency Atlanta during Dragon Con – and this year, we decided to do it a day early!
