Fan Expo New Orleans

Fan Expo New Orleans will be in the Big Easy for three days, when lovers of time travel, zombies, and more descend on the Convention Center to revel in fandom galore. The convention honors the creation and celebration of all corners of pop culture, from fantasy to sci-fi, gaming to graphic novels, books, movies, TV, and beyond; it's a place where characters from the screen, the page, and the fans' own imaginations come to life for an action-packed weekend. This year's Expo features Back to the Future trilogy stars, headlined by Michael J. Fox, Christopher Lloyd, Lea Thompson and Tom Wilson, Andy Serkis, known for his work in Lord of the Rings and Planet of the Apes, and the Doctor Who pair of Mandip Gill and Catherine Tate, among many others. Fan Expo New Orleans also features artists, gaming, live entertainment, costume contests, and more. 3 pm–9 pm Friday; 10 am–7 pm Saturday; 10 am–5 pm Sunday.
