Portland residents are you ready to get weird? The fifth installment of Newcon PDX is rapidly approaching on December 30, 2016 through January 1, 2017. It will be located at the Downtown Waterfront Marriott on 1401 Southwest Naito Parkway in Portland, Oregon.
To build the excitement for this upcoming con, PDX 5 has only released a small teaser of the guests attending the con. This includes Christine Marie Cabanos (Madoka Magica), Issac Marion (Warm Bodies), rapper Mega Ran, WWE hall of famer Rikishi, Lisle Wilkerson (Dead or Alive), Janet Varney (The Legend of Korra), Cristina Vee (Love Live!), John Dover (Johnny Scotch), Youtubers Zaxel and Mr. Creepy Pasta, Dan Schaefer (The Librarians), and professional cosplayer Ryan Wells.
This year’s convention, unlike those held in the past, will feature a next-level cosplay contest with the chance to win major prizes. Cosplay Deviants has also teamed up with PDX 5 to host a 21 and over cosplay contest, free to all those attending the convention. Make sure to check out the creation station, dances, karaoke parties, lip sync battle royale, the table top gaming station, and the extensive artists alley. If you've been looking for a way to kick off the new year, this is it!
Newcon PDX 5 will be open through the weekend beginning Friday at 9 AM to Sunday at 7 PM. Full weekend passes are $45 for an adult and $30 for children ages 6-12. Children 5 and under are admitted for free. VIP passes are still currently available as well.
