It’s a new year, a new location, but the feelings remain the same. What started off as a one day event at the famed Grand Prospect Hall (RIP) has evolved into a two-day event, at a brand new venue in the heart of Times Square, with now two after-events (Fireball & Campfire), and we wouldn’t be here without you!

Flame Con exists because of the hard work of so many people; our exhibitors, panelists, cosplayers, gaymers, sponsors, and our many volunteers (those who spend all year planning and those who help out day of) who quite literally will the event into existence. Your light makes Flame Con shine bright each year and warms all of our hearts.

Thank you for making Flame Con a beacon of queer joy!
