WonderCon Anaheim returns this weekend, March 27 through March 29, at the Anaheim Convention Center for three days packed with comics, cosplay, panels, artists, games, autographs, and special guests.
WonderCon Anaheim dates and hours
WonderCon 2026 runs Friday, March 27 through Sunday, March 29 at the Anaheim Convention Center.
Official exhibit hall hours are:
- Friday from 11:30 a.m. to 7:00 p.m.
- Saturday from 10:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m.
- Sunday from 10:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.
Fans can find the full official schedule and guest list at the WonderCon website.
That makes WonderCon one of the bigger fan events of the weekend on the West Coast. Between the exhibit hall, creator spotlights, cosplay, signings, games, and panels, there is no shortage of things for attendees to check out.
Special guests include Felicia Day, Scott Snyder, and Joshua Williamson
WonderCon has a strong guest lineup for comics and pop culture fans.
Official WonderCon announcements confirmed Felicia Day as part of the wave of special guests, with Scott Snyder and Joshua Williamson also in attendance.
The current WonderCon schedule also includes Spotlight on Scott Snyder and programming tied to Joshua Williamson, which fits with the convention’s stronger creator-driven identity this year.
WonderCon is more about comics, creators, and cosplay
The official WonderCon pages lean heavily into the convention’s comics-and-fandom identity.
The event promotes artists, exhibitors, small press, fan tables, autographs, games, anime, portfolio review, and a full programming schedule rather than leading with big celebrity photo ops.
That makes WonderCon a different kind of show. For readers who care more about comics, creators, and convention culture than Hollywood star power, that can actually be a plus.
Panels, games, and the Masquerade highlight the weekend
One of the bigger scheduled events of the weekend is the WonderCon Masquerade, which takes place Saturday, March 28 at 8:30 p.m. at the Anaheim Convention Center.
The official event page says the costume competition will run about two and a half hours.
WonderCon also has a full programming slate across the weekend, including anime, autographs, children’s film programming, games, and portfolio review.
The official games page says attendees can expect more than 100 different game titles, along with tournament rounds, teaching demos, and open gaming.
