Celebrating H.P. Lovecraft and the Cthulhu Mythos in all its forms.

NecronomiCon is held in odd-numbered years on the weekend closest to the August 20th birthday of H.P. Lovecraft. Regular programming includes panels on the literary, scholarly, artistic, media, and gaming aspects of Lovecraft and his works, as well as on other individuals who have influenced or been influenced by him. Other attractions include the vendors’ rooms, art shows, film showings, gaming, author readings and signings, walking tours, and the infamous Cthulhu Prayer Breakfast. The original convention ran from 1993 to 2001, but began again (under new management) in 2013.
