When is FC3? FC3 2026 is August 14-16 at the Fort Collins Senior Center. Friday hours are from 12:00 PM to 6:00 PM, Saturday and Sunday run from 9AM to 7PM.
Is this a family-friendly Con? Absolutely! We have lots of programming for geeks of all ages. Check the schedule for hours on our superhero training camp for our youngest attendees, and our video game lounge and Sunday’s tabletop gaming area for the older kiddos—and of course our selection of panels.
Can I take pictures at the Con? Before you take any pictures of another con-goer, you should get their clear and direct consent: wearing cosplay does not automatically mean consent. Special guests are on a case by case basis, with potential additional costs.
Will there be panels and vending hours on Friday? We are planning on Vending and board game panels on Friday from Noon-6PM as well as full programs and vendor hall access on Saturday and Sunday.
Are there any special guests? Yes! Check out the Guests page linked on our website! We’re very excited about our guest lineup.
Are there any special events? Of course! Friday we’re hosting a Geek Lightning Talks session, and Saturday we’re bringing back the drag show. No need to purchase special tickets, but there will be a signup for presenting at Geek Ignite.
Can I volunteer to get a badge? Yes, absolutely. As long as there are volunteer spots open; these are announced on or around the same date that Badges go on sale.
When do badges go on sale? July 7 at 7PM. Badges can ONLY be purchased on the Fort Collins Comic Con website. Anyone else trying to sell you a badge is likely scamming you.
Where do I pickup my badge? During purchase, you can select your location from participating local geek or comic book stores, or the Con itself. We highly recommend selecting a store because it’ll save you a ton of time in line.
What happens if I don’t pick up my badge? Badges will be available for pickup from the store until your venue of choice closes on the Thursday before FC3! Then we’ll have them available on the day of the Con, at the Attendee Check-In booth.
When does Cosplay registration begin? The Cosplay Contest registration is open! Check out the application here. Go to our “Cosplay” page on the main site to see the rules for the contest. We also have cosplay catwalks on Saturday and Sunday at noon, no pre-registration required! You should plan to queue up for the catwalks at 11:45 outside of the Millennium Falcon room to participate.
Have the Cosplay rules changed? See our cosplay page linked on the main site for details, but basically: no!
When do Vendor Booths go on sale? Our vendor booths are currently sold out and we have a waitlist.
Is there going to be food at the Con? There are a large number of wonderful food spots nearby, including Totally 80’s Pizza, Mod Pizza, Jimmy John’s, Gib’s Bagels, and more!
Is there alcohol sold at the Con? No alcohol will be sold or allowed at the Con.
Will there be an ATM? Not on site.
Where do I need to park? We highly encourage you to use Transfort or to walk or bike in from Rolland Moore Park or the Spring Creek Trail if you can. If you are able-bodied, please plan to avoid the RED parking areas and aim instead for the gray, orange, or yellow parking areas. Here’s a map of suggested parking—please be mindful of signage and be courteous to any businesses:
