Dragon Con 2023 is over and we are approaching the end of our coverage. We’ve seen a lot of great cosplays and had a lot of fun. Reptile, aka Laird of Cosplay, was on-site the whole weekend and got us some great photos.

Laird is an avid cosplay creator and he had an opportunity at Dragon Con to catch up with fellow Groot cosplay creator Bobby Whalen.

Dragon Con is the largest multi-media, pop culture convention focusing on science fiction & fantasy, gaming, comics, literature, art, music, and film in the universe – and the best place to celebrate all of these things with fellow fans on Labor Day Weekend.

LOCATION

Dragon Con takes place annually on Labor Day weekend. Dragon Con will be held in our five host hotels the Hyatt Regency Atlanta, Atlanta Hilton, Sheraton Atlanta, Atlanta Marriott Marquis, and the Westin Peachtree Plaza Hotel in downtown Atlanta.  Additionally, AmericasMart Buildings 2 and 3 provide a home for our Gaming, Vendors, and Comic and Pop Artist Alley.

HOURS

The convention opens at 5:00 p.m. on Thursday and runs around the clock until 5:00 p.m. on Monday.  Yep – you heard us right – that’s 96 hours of continuous enjoyment and excitement so come rested and ready to be overwhelmed with options on what to do.  With so many amazing things going on all hours of the day, we recommend you check the app for times.
