🚀 GalaxyCon Raleigh In The Streets!
Raleigh’s biggest convention is here! With an expected 45,000+ attendees, GalaxyCon will be taking over downtown Raleigh through Sunday afternoon. That’s right, this year they’re not just relegated to the massive Raleigh Convention Center.
2025 is GalaxyCon Raleigh’s inaugural Street Fest. It gives us a new way to experience the convention without needing a badge! You can expect vendors, celebrities, pro wrestling, live music, food trucks, and Itasha (cars wrapped in nerdy graphics). And all before setting foot in the convention center.
Street Fest will take place on Fayetteville Street, starting at the Marriott plaza, on Saturday and Sunday.
We’ll be at GalaxyCon all weekend, so follow our Instagram for the experience and hope to see you there!
