Dallas, TX — September 2, 2025— Dallas FAN FESTIVAL, returning October 4–5, 2025, at the Irving Convention Center, is set to celebrate pop culture past and present with a nostalgic lineup of celebrity guests and activities designed to bring fans of all ages together.
Known for creating a welcoming community for fans of comics, sci-fi, anime, gaming, and more, this year’s festival places a special spotlight on nostalgia. Beloved stars from classic TV shows, blockbuster films, and fan-favorite franchises will join the guest roster, giving attendees the rare chance to relive their favorite moments and introduce a new generation to the icons who helped shape pop culture.
“Dallas FAN FESTIVAL is about celebrating the things we love across generations,” said Andrew Moyes, Vice President of FAN EXPO HQ. “This year, our guests will include actors and creators who defined entertainment for many of us growing up, alongside today’s stars. It’s the perfect event for families, friends, and fans of all ages to experience together.”
In addition to celebrity panels, autograph and photo opportunities, and Q&A sessions, the two-day festival will feature:
- Family-friendly programming includes kid-focused activities, cosplay contests, and hands-on workshops.
- Gaming zones and artist alleys where fans can explore indie creations and collectibles.
- Interactive exhibits celebrating both retro and modern pop culture.
With ticket packages designed to be budget-conscious, Dallas FAN FESTIVAL offers families and fans an immersive weekend of entertainment for less than the cost of a single concert or sporting event.
