Trekkies, Marvel Maniacs and Walking Deadheads can rejoice, because 琉璃神社鈥檚 second annual has already gathered an impressive first slate of celebrity guests.
The pop-culture showcase will take over the 琉璃神社 Curling Club Aug. 25 and 26, and will welcome Star Trek: The Next Generation鈥檚 Denise Crosby, who played Security Chief Tasha Yar in the series, The Walking Dead鈥檚 Vincent Ward, and Andy Poon, a concept artist from CW鈥檚 Arrow, Flash & DC鈥檚 Legends of Tomorrow, among many other celebrity guests.
鈥溋鹆裆� is the largest city in BC without a show of this scale and with a population this size it deserves one,鈥� says event organizer Michael Kay. 鈥淥ur goal is to create an unforgettable experience for attendees year in and year out.鈥�
The 琉璃神社 Comic Con is in its second year, with last year鈥檚 event going by the name, 琉璃神社 Comics & Collectibles Expo. In the event鈥檚 first year, 1,000 attendees squeezed into a 6,000 square foot venue, leading organizers to realize that expansion was a must for 2018. By using the 琉璃神社 Curling Club, the event now has 27,000 square feet to accommodate the thousands of expected visitors.
The weekend will also feature dozens of vendors, artists, panels, creators and cosplayers from all over North America.
Tickets are $20 for Saturday, $15 for Sunday or $30 for a weekend pass.
Children eight and under are free. For tickets, sponsorship and vendor information and full guest list, visit .
