Welcome to the homepage for the Southern Fandom
Resource Guide convention calendar, a
comprehensive listing of Science Fiction, Fantasy,
Gaming, Comics, Anime and Pop Culture conventions held
in the Southeastern United States.
Founded in 1995, the SFRG is maintained by longtime
Southern fan
Kelly Lockhart
and is updated on a weekly basis (depending on work and
vacation schedules). Be sure to "like" us on our
Facebook page to keep up with the latest updates.
Conventions are listed by date, convention name (linked
to their website), and city and state where they are
being held. If you know of a convention that we do not
have listed (or need to correct an existing listing),
please
send us the relevant information so that we can
include them as well.
Our
coverage region includes: Florida, Georgia, Alabama,
Louisiana, Mississippi, Arkansas, Tennessee, Kentucky,
Virginia, West Virginia, South Carolina, North Carolina,
Maryland, along with portions of Texas and Missouri. It
may not be the most precise definition of
"Southern", but
it works for us.

COVID-19 CONVENTION CALENDAR UPDATE |
|
With the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, local and state governments
have been asking everyone
to practice social distancing and avoid attending large
public events. As it stands now, it is safe to assume
nearly all conventions scheduled through the end of May
have been cancelled or postponed. As for conventions
scheduled to take place in June and beyond, many are
still in the decision-making process and waiting to see
how the pandemic responds to current shutdowns.
We are doing our best to update our
calendar with rescheduled dates for postponed
conventions, but if you have plans to attend any
convention in the next several months, please check with
their website or through social media to confirm their status. |
