SiouxperCon 2026

SiouxperCon is the ultimate family adventure weekend in Sioux Falls. An event where kids, parents, and even grandparents can dive into a world of creativity, play, and pure joy together. It’s three days packed with activities designed specifically for families, making it a can’t‑miss annual tradition.

You’ll find a full retro arcade, a massive video game room, and endless tabletop gaming that bring generations together. Kids can shine in the Kids Cosplay Parade, explore a dedicated Kid Zone filled with free hands‑on activities, and even grab a free children’s book to take home. Sunday offers a gentle Sensory Hour, creating a calm, welcoming environment for families who need it.

The magic continues with over 40 celebrity guests, including favorites like Professor Oak, Kermit the Frog, Big Bird, the Beast, Sonic the Hedgehog, and many more. Kids get to meet the characters they adore, while parents enjoy the nostalgia of seeing icons from their own childhood.

Families can explore 100+ vendors, discover unique creators in Artist Alley, and enjoy a safe, friendly environment built by passionate volunteers who care deeply about community. And the best part? Children under 12 attend free all weekend, making SiouxperCon one of the most affordable family events in the region.

SiouxperCon isn’t just the largest fully nonprofit pop culture event in the area – it’s also a place where families laugh, play, learn, and make memories together. If you’re looking for a weekend your kids will talk about all year long, SiouxperCon is a must‑attend!

SiouxperCon is a local 501(c)3 charity dedicated to providing accessible arts and STEM learning opportunities for all ages, and they donate 100% of event proceeds to other local charities including Make-A-Wish, Reach Literacy, and the JY6 Foundation for pediatric cancer research.
