A Whole Weekend of Non-Stop Fun
DragonCon is unlike any other convention! The multi-hotel setup means there's always something happening no matter what time it is. The parade was spectacular - I've never seen so many amazing costumes in one place. Attended some great panels in the sci-fi track and met actors from my favorite shows. The late-night dance parties were also a highlight! Just be prepared to walk A LOT between hotels.
