ShadoCon, Florida's biggest gaming, anime, and comic convention, is just around the corner on November 18-20, 2016. The con is located at the Hilton St. Petersburg Bayfront on 333 1st Street South in St. Petersburg, Florida. This year's theme? Rivals!

Leading up to the convention, ShadoCon has decided to keep their guest list top secret. However, they have announced some names as a teaser to fans, such as Robbie Raymond (Sailor Moon), Ray Chase (Justice League Dark), Maile Flanagan (Naruto), The Crazy Random Happenstance performance group, and the improv comedy troupe aniRage. As the convention approaches, more exciting names will be added to the guest list.

Although the celebrity attendees list is under wraps, the program guide is practically overflowing with amazing events! From a comedy breakdancing show to a Shado Tournament, a Kankei Soirée, and the adventurous game show: Rhyme nor Reason. Not to mention the MMA style show, Aftershock, and the over 18 burlesque show called After Hours Affairs. Be sure to carve out time for the Bon Bon Cho Maid Cafe, Pajama Party Panic, and the Shado Rave. Or put your skills to the test in the talent show, cosplay showcase, AMV contest, and the gaming tournaments.

The con will be open through the weekend beginning Friday at 8 PM to Sunday at 8:30 PM. One-day passes are $25 for Friday, $30 for Saturday, and $25 for Sunday. Children 4 and under get in for free, while tickets for children 5-12 are $10. A weekend pass is also available for $55.
