Pensacon 2027 — Gulf Coast's Biggest Pop Culture Convention

Northwest Florida's biggest pop culture celebration returns for its 14th year, February 19-21, 2027, at the Pensacola Bay Center. Pensacon is the largest comic-con event on the Gulf Coast, drawing thousands of fans, cosplayers, artists, and celebrity guests for a weekend packed with panels, performances, autograph sessions, and unforgettable community moments.

The 2027 guest lineup already features some legendary anime voice talent: Monica Rial (Hello Kitty, Dragon Ball's Bulma, My Hero Academia's Tsuyu Asui), Justin Briner, Leah Clark, Kyle Hebert, Charlet Chung, and Paul McGann — with dozens more guests to be announced as the event approaches. Expect sprawling artist alleys, gaming rooms, special screenings, cosplay competitions, and some of the most creative costumes you'll see anywhere in the South.

For vacationers based in Destin or Miramar Beach, Pensacola is just 45 minutes west — and Pensacon makes an unforgettable day or overnight adventure. The historic Pensacola waterfront and downtown are right outside the Bay Center doors, so combine convention fun with fresh Gulf oysters and a sunset stroll.
