BAY-CON began as an idea in 2019. While the world shut down, BAY-CON hibernated, waiting to break free. BAY-CON erupted from its slumber in the spring of 2021, seeing over 600 participants! BAY-CON struck back in 2023 with over 1400 participants, and hosted over 4800 in 2024!
WE ARE SO EXCITED TO SEE YOU IN 2025!!
BAY-CON will again feature a large vendor space, AMAZING taco truck (and other options), vintage video gaming, cosplay contest, Trivia, celebrity guests and so Much MORE!!!
Sponsored by Bay College student organizations and local businesses, BAY-CON is a fundraiser for the college’s student organizations and athletic teams who staff the event. The event is FREE, although a donation of $5 for those 10 and over is recommended.
This page will be updated with BAY-CON events as they are confirmed, so you’ll know what to expect, and knowing is half the battle!
