Who We Are

MarsCon is an all-inclusive family friendly fan-run science fiction convention held every March in Bloomington MN. At MarsCon you’ll find multiple programming tracks, parties, Guest of Honor presentations, science and science fiction, our art show, film/anime, gaming, dealers room, charity auction, and masquerade.
