MystiCon

MystiCon MystiCon is a fan-driven sci-fi and fantasy convention born in 1980 and revived in 2010, celebrating creativity, community, and storytelling.

Built by volunteers and fueled by friendship, it remains a welcoming home for dreamers, creators, and fans. The original MystiCon, which took place over July 4th weekend in 1980, was considered a big party by most but has recently been revived to take place in our favorite Roanoke, VA location, the Tanglewood Holiday Inn. The location and time of year that MystiCon takes place is one that fans, fa

mily and friends alike have come to rely on for an awesome weekend of SciFi, Fantasy and Pop Culture. This convention was resurrected in 2010 by a collection of cool zany and passionate people that wanted to keep the family-friendly traditions of open gaming, enjoyment of different literature, arts, imaginations and camaraderie any Con-goer will surely enjoy! We look forward to seeing you there!

Our tagline is “A Bit Un-Conventional” …because, I mean, who wants to be regular!

This example of unconventional in a sentence on Miriam-Webster.com is great: “Her lifestyle is rather unconventional.
The Shakers acquired their name because of their unconventional practice of dancing with shaking movements during worship.”

I mean the visual alone!!

We are going to start checking in with you regularly to see if you’re shaking things up in your world! We want to know…

What have you done Un-Conventional lately?
