📣 Be an exhibitor at Sci-Fi on the Rock 19 happening April 23-25, 2027!

Applications will close at midnight on Friday, November 20, and we will get back to everyone by Friday, November 27.

➡ Artist Alley Application Link:

*️⃣ The Clubs & Groups table applications are separate and go live closer to the convention.

We have two market areas at the convention: the Artist Alley and the Vendor Room.

🔹The Artist Alley is in the front area of the con and is geared towards “traditional” artists, whether that’s sketching, prints, stickers, original art, fan art, and primarily 2D items. These tables are smaller and therefore cheaper per table, but it’s a great entry for newer artists to test the waters!

🔸The Vendor Room is, by comparison, more of a catch-all for anyone who wants to sell or vend any products that fall under the general convention themes. We get licensed merch, crafters, authors, makers, and artists. The table space is larger, and you have the option of applying for either a table or a booth.

✨ Check the applications for more detailed information on exhibitor policies and FAQs.

Thank you to everyone who applies, we appreciate your interest in the convention! 🙌

Join us at the NSO this weekend for two spooktacular Halloween performances! 🎃🦇🎶✨️

Calling all witches and wizards! The NSO is bringing two unforgettable Halloween concerts to the stage for one magical weekend. 🧙‍♀️🎃

On Friday night, the NSO casts a spell with Fall Pops: Witches and Wizards. Journey from the depths of Middle Earth, down the yellow brick road to Oz, through the wardrobe to Narnia, and into the dark and sweeping soundscapes of the wizarding world and beyond. 🪄✨

Then, on Saturday afternoon, bring the whole family to Hallowe’en Spooktacular: Henry Hiccup and the Forbidden Orchestra for a frightfully fun musical adventure filled with mystery, music, and just the right amount of Halloween magic. 👻

Two concerts. One spooky weekend. Get your tickets before they disappear!

📅 Fall Pops: Witches and Wizards
October 23rd, 7:30 p.m.

📅 Hallowe’en Spooktacular: Henry Hiccup and the Forbidden Orchestra
October 24th, 3 p.m.

We were absolutely shocked to hear this awful news. It’s hard to believe that something like this could happen to someone who has been such a familiar and friendly face in our convention community for so many years.

Doug, you’ve been a longtime vendor, supporter, and friend, and we want you to know that the entire organizing committee is thinking of you and wishing you all the best as you recover.

We know Doug has a lot of friends and supporters in the community, and if you’re able, please consider showing your support for Doug and Downtown Entertainment in whatever way you can as he recovers.

Rest up, take care of yourself, and here’s hoping we’ll see you back at the convention when you’re ready! ❤️
