Sunday at Dragon Con 2026 is last big costume day and the last full day (and night) of programming.
One of the bigger events on Sunday is the Dragon Con Masquerade, held in the evening at the Hyatt Regency in the Centennial Ballroom. This contest showcases theatrical performances and awesome costumes. The other is the Dragon Con Charity Auction, where attendees, creators and even some of the guests gather to bid on rare collectibles, signed artwork, and exclusive memorabilia to raise money for local Atlanta non-profit organizations.

Sunday is the final push for celebrity interactions through panels, autographs, and photo ops in the Walk of Fame. And many make a last minute run to the AmericasMart, to peruse the massive Vendor Hall and grab exclusive merchandise before the weekend wraps up. As night falls, convention energy shifts into a high-energy finale. Labor Day Monday gives many an extra day before traveling home so Sunday nights are not as enthusiastic as previous nights, but they still have an intensity.
