Heroes. Villains. Antiheroes. Sidekicks. Questionable moral choices.

No matter where you fall on the alignment chart, you're invited to Central Florida's geekiest celebration.

Join us for Great Geek Gathering: Heroes & Villains, a free, family-friendly event dedicated to the fandoms, characters, stories, and worlds we can't get enough of.

Whether you're hunting for a grail item to complete your collection or discovering your next obsession, there's something waiting around every corner.

Come dressed as your favorite hero, villain, or original character and spend the day surrounded by fellow fans who speak your language. From superheroes and fantasy worlds to gaming, anime, sci-fi, horror, and beyond, all fandoms are welcome here.
