A Guide to Science Fiction, Fantasy, Gaming, and Anime Conventions in Texas
The first science fiction convention in Texas was Southwestern Con 6 held in
Dallas in July, 1958. Since then science fiction fandom has blossomed like bluebonnets with
conventions held in every corner of the Lone Star State. Join ALAMO
and fan groups across Texas as we celebrate the strength and diversity of Texas convention fandom.
There's nothing we love more than taking a roadtrip and meeting our fellow fans
all over Texas. So here's a list of every Texas SF convention we could find plus a couple
of the best cons from our neighbors across the Great Southwest and around the world.
If we missed one, please let us know. Enjoy.
