Fan Expo Vancouver ran February 14 to 16th, coinciding with Valentine’s Day. The event drew tens of thousands of enthusiasts to celebrate the best of sci-fi, horror, anime, and gaming.
The event was packed with celebrities from The Lord of the Rings, Smallville, Twilight, Harry Potter and a slew of other shows. Guests had the opportunity to attend panels, get photos and signatures or just say hello to their favorite stars.
At the heart of the show floor sat the Artist Alley, which proved more diverse than ever. This creative hub blended industry professionals with local talent, offering everything from traditional watercolors to modern digital prints. Beyond standard artwork, crafters showcased unique handmade treasures, including character-themed candles, custom jewelry, and intricate 3D-printed accessories.
