The experience
What's special
GalaxyCon Richmond bills itself as more than a comic con: a four-day festival of fandom at the Greater Richmond Convention Center covering comics, sci-fi, fantasy, anime, gaming, cosplay and wrestling. Early 2027 guests include Henry Winkler, Bryce Dallas Howard, Ralph Macchio, Jerry Trainor and Ross Marquand from Friday to Sunday, Christopher Mintz-Plasse all four days and Stephen Amell on the weekend, plus a deep voice cast led by Nolan North, Paige O'Hara, Bill Farmer, Christopher Sabat, Colleen Clinkenbeard and Richard Horvitz, and wrestler Mick Foley on Thursday and Friday. Programming runs until 1 AM from Thursday to Saturday, with After Dark parties, karaoke and 18+ shows after the exhibit hall closes, and the organizer advertises over 100 hours of anime programming. Cosplay competitions carry over $4,000 in cash prizes, and a Tabletop Gaming Room, the Galactic Arcade and a Tattoo Row fill out the floor.
How it works
The show opens Thursday, March 18 at 2 PM and runs to 1 AM Thursday through Saturday, closing at 8 PM on Sunday; the Exhibit Hall closes earlier each day. Single days are $45 to $75, a Friday to Sunday pass is $150 and a four-day pass is $165, plus a 3% service charge. Kids 9 and under are free with a paid adult. The GRCC Parking Deck connects to the convention center, and concessions are cashless.

Entry rules
Accessibility & comfort
What the organizer or venue publishes about getting around, and what they do not.
An Information and Accessibility Booth inside the registration area helps attendees with accessibility requirements; staff can arrange line accommodations, seated waiting areas, alternate routes and rest areas, and attendees do not need to explain a disability to ask.
The organizer warns of high crowd density, tight exhibit hall aisles, long walking distances, loud audio, bright and flashing lights and limited seating at peak hours, and publishes a sensory guide for autistic and sensory-sensitive attendees.
The convention center's own site covers its accessibility services.
Confirm your specific needs with the organizer's access team before you travel.
