FAN EXPO Dallas

FAN EXPO Dallas is the Dallas stop on the FAN EXPO HQ circuit. It’s a three-day, multi-fandom show that fills the Kay Bailey Hutchison Convention Center downtown. The organizer expects around 65,000 attendees. The draw is the celebrity lineup (autographs, photo ops, and headline panels), backed by a large comics and artist presence, cosplay programming, and gaming.

When it happens

The show’s timing has moved around. The 2025 edition ran in late May/early June and the 2026 edition in September. The official site lists June 11–13, 2027 for the next edition. Tickets were listed as “on sale soon” when we checked.

Tips

• Photo ops and autographs for top-tier guests are sold separately from admission and often sell out first. Buy them as soon as guests are announced.
• The convention center is on DART light rail (Convention Center station), which is usually easier than downtown event parking.
• Celebrity schedules change. Check the official guest page the week of the show.
