Charleston has received an enthusiastic boost in the pop culture landscape as GalaxyCon announces the acquisition of Charleston’s Incredible Con. The event, which celebrates a multitude of geek cultures including comics, sci-fi, fantasy, anime, and gaming, is expected to grow significantly under GalaxyCon’s management.

The next edition of Incredible Con is confirmed for September 27-28, 2025, and will take place at the Charleston Area Convention Center, located at 5001 Coliseum Drive. Previous events have drawn between 8,000 to 10,000 attendees annually, and GalaxyCon aims to enhance this figure and create a more substantial community gathering.

Ticket prices for the weekend will be accessible to fans, with a general pass available for $35.18 and VIP tickets priced at $55.88. This pricing structure is tailored to attract a wide array of attendees, making it feasible for families and individuals alike to participate.

The Incredible Con will feature exciting guests from popular franchises. Confirmed guests for the event include:

Kyle Hebert, known for voicing Gohan in “Dragonball Z”
Ryan Drummond, the voice of Sonic from “Sonic the Hedgehog”
Alejandra Reynoso, who has roles in “Pokemon” and “Winx Club”
Jason Narvy, who played Eugene “Skull” Skullovitch in “Power Rangers”
Paul Schrier, recognized as Farkas “Bulk” Bulkmeier in “Power Rangers”

In addition to these names, more special guests are anticipated to be announced as the event date approaches.

GalaxyCon is recognized as the largest independently owned consumer fan engagement company in the United States, having been established in 2006. Currently, it hosts over 20 events across the country, scheduled for 2026, emphasizing its outreach and engagement in the fan community. Prior to this acquisition, GalaxyCon has successfully acquired conventions in other major cities, including Nashville and Savannah, ensuring their viability and growth.

The acquisition was facilitated by Incredible Con president Mike Federali, who aimed to have more personal time with his family. Under GalaxyCon, president Mike Broder has expressed a strong intent to broaden the scale of the Charleston convention, enhancing the overall attendee experience and encouraging a vibrant community atmosphere.

A 2024 study showed that events hosted by GalaxyCon have generated over $42 million for local economies, showcasing the potential financial benefits for Charleston through this acquisition. With GalaxyCon events attracting up to 50,000 fans nationally, the infusion of resources and experience into Charleston’s Incredible Con can create a more enriching and impactful event.

Both Federali and Broder are committed to ensuring a seamless transition in the management of Incredible Con, pledging to maintain the essence that attendees have come to know and love. By merging experiences and expanding offerings, the upcoming events promise to be a significant highlight in Charleston’s calendar of pop culture activities.

The Charleston Area Convention Center stands ready to host these exciting developments when Incredible Con returns in 2025, with anticipation already building among fans eager to celebrate their favorite aspects of geek culture.
