Fanquest Winnipeg 2019

This is the third year for Fanquest in Winnipeg and second at Red River College's downtown campus. It runs Friday and Saturday from 10 AM to 6. With the hiatus of Comic Con this year, a number of people will be looking for events where they can celebrate their interest in genre media and music. Fanquest fits in nicely with the remaining genre conventions of Keycon and Ai-Kon.

Costumes, gaming, panel discussions and special guests abound for the event which will inside Red River College's Exchange campus. It will be busy in the area with nearby Jazz Fest taking place so be sure to that into account when heading downtown.

Cosplay and costumes are one of the main reasons to come to Fanquest and it is quite the mix of sci-fi and fantasy inside. Attendance has grown and the convention looks to see a thousand people pass through the door versus last year's 750.

Weather forecast for Saturday looks a little wet so some Jazz Fest and Red River Ex attendees could have a place to go till the weather clears!
