FAN EXPO Portland returned to the Oregon Convention Center January 12th-14th, 2024. This family-friendly event had a cold reception due to unseasonably cold temperatures and icy conditions.
The convention had a slew of amazing guests from Stranger Things, Star Wars, and several animes. A few of the actors in attendance were Christopher Sabat, Shameik Moore, Charlie Cox and Danny Trejo. Unfortunately the weather kept some such as Jon Bernthal and Justin Briner from attending.
Ratings:
There are some very basic things that can ensure whether or not you actually enjoy the convention. Or if it is worth your time. We’ve ask attendees to rank a few key things on the con. Voting was open for 30 days after publication.

Despite the adverse weather conditions many people still showed up to celebrate their favorite fandoms. The crowds were significantly thinner than normal. This turned out favorable for many attendees as they had a better chance of visiting their favorite celebrity and had plenty of opportunity to browse the vendors. Unfortunately for the vendors this meant less sales.
Let’s hope that the weather is better for next years event which will be held a little later in the month, January 24-26, 2025.
Despite everything plenty of people still showed up in cosplay and Christopher Wineland has chosen to share some of his photos with our readers.
