Orlando, the fun-filled playground of Florida, recently played host to the highly anticipated MegaCon 2025, running from February 6 to 9. This annual extravaganza, held at the bustling Orange County Convention Center, welcomed an astonishing crowd of over 180,000 fans. That’s right; this convention is now one of the biggest pop culture events in North America, and it’s clear that fans couldn’t get enough of the action!
What makes MegaCon so enticing? Well, for starters, fans had the chance to rub elbows with some of the most beloved stars and creators in the industry. People flocked to meet legends like Todd McFarlane, the mastermind behind comic book classics; Molly Ringwald, whose films defined a generation; and Matt Smith, Jude Law, Ron Howard, and Bryce Dallas Howard, among others. The chance to grab an autograph or snap a selfie with these icons was undoubtedly a big draw!
But MegaCon isn’t just about the celebrity meet-and-greets. The event showcased a sprawling marketplace bursting with collectibles and memorabilia. From exclusive Funko Pop figures to vintage comic books, attendees were in shopping paradise. Vendors lined the aisles, eager to share their unique finds, many with over a decade of experience at MegaCon.
