Fan Expo Denver 2026 ran from May 28–31 and was held at the Colorado Convention Center. This event was originally founded in 2012 by the non-profit group Pop Culture Classroom and was acquired in 2021 by Informa/Fan Expo and renamed Fan Expo Denver.
Celebrity highlights at this years event included a panel featuring X-Files stars David Duchovny and Gillian Anderson. They were joined on stage by Mitch Pileggi and William B. Davis for a nostalgic Q&A panel. There was also a massive Lord of the Rings reunion with Elijah Wood, Sean Astin, Dominic Monaghan, Billy Boyd, Orlando Bloom, John Rhys-Davies, and Karl Urban. Other highlights included David Tennant, the cast from The Boys, and an appearance by Peggy the Dog.
The Exhibition floor was packed with legendary artists like Arthur Adams, Frank Cho, Skottie Young, and Jeph Loeb. There were also hundreds of vendors selling everything from limited edition statuary to handcrafted one-of-a kind art.
A always, cosplay is our focus and thanks to Alicia Marshall-Cooper we get some great cosplay photos of the event. Her and her family were there as a cosplay group from the Disney Movie The Princess and the Frog.
