The 3rd Annual Billings Fun Con returns to MetraPark June 12 - 14.

The event brings three full days of comics, cosplay, gaming, collectibles, and pure pop-culture chaos to town. What started as a niche fan event has quickly grown into a large regional attraction, pulling in collectors, artists, gamers, and cosplay enthusiasts from across Montana and neighboring states.

Yes, there are comic books... but Fun Con is so much more. Modern fan conventions are basically giant playgrounds for anybody who grew up loving movies, video games, cartoons, sci-fi, fantasy, superheroes, horror, or nostalgia.

Vendors, art, cars, games, collectibles, and so much more.

One of the biggest draws is the massive Vendor Hall, packed with everything from vintage comics and collectible toys to artwork, apparel, handmade crafts, and random fandom merchandise.

Artist Alley is also returning, giving attendees a chance to meet creators, browse original artwork, snag autographs, and commission custom pieces. Even if you’re not into comics, it’s always fascinating to see the level of talent these artists bring to events like this.

Gamers will have plenty to do as well, with trading card games, tabletop games, casual gaming opportunities, and learn-to-play sessions for newcomers.

A great event for people watching.

Of course, cosplay remains one of the biggest attractions. Half the fun of events like this is simply people-watching. The creativity and craftsmanship people pour into these costumes can get wildly impressive.
