Hello Kitty and Friends MiniCon

For the first time, a full day dedicated to Hello Kitty is coming to the city for Hello Kitty & Friends Mini Con. This is a celebration of bows, friendship, kindness, cute collections, and the character who has filled bedrooms, backpacks, desks, and display shelves for generations.

Maybe she was on your lunchbox. Maybe she's still on your shelf. Either way, Hello Kitty has a way of following people through every stage of life, and this event is for everyone who still lights up at the sight of that iconic red bow. 🎀
