Hal-Con 2010 is a Science Fiction / Fantasy / Comic convention that will be held in Halifax, October 29-31, 2010. This will be an event that fans of both the sci-fi and fantasy genres can come together and celebrate what they love about their passions. We hope to see you all there so we can make this a great event not just for the fans, but for Halifax and the Maritime provinces.

The organizing committee is comprised of volunteer staff with a variety of professional backgrounds but a shared passion for sci-fi. Attendees of the convention will be able to enjoy a “home grown” feeling. We are committed to creating a multi-faceted event to provide entertainment to as many interests as possible.

Hal-Con is being hosted at:
