The Penti-Con 2026
October 31 @ 10:00 am – November 1 @ 6:00 pm
Step into a weekend of creativity and connection at The Penti-Con, returning to Penticton on October 31 & November 1, 2026.
The Penti-Con is a community-driven arts and pop culture convention that celebrates creativity in all its forms. Enjoy hands-on workshops, live demonstrations, and engaging panels featuring artists, authors, and performers sharing their skills and experiences.
Explore a curated marketplace filled with local artists, creators, and small businesses. Take part in interactive tabletop gaming, collaborative art projects, and workshops ranging from cosplay and crafting to writing and performance.
This year’s theme, Magic, adds a light touch of wonder throughout the event, inspiring creativity, imagination, and a sense of discovery without taking away from the heart of what makes The Penti-Con special: its people.
Built on accessibility and community, The Penti-Con creates a welcoming space where everyone can participate, create, and belong.
