Worldcons are known for being a “big tent” – we offer something for everyone. The convention’s Program and Exhibits bring many choices, and here in the Events Division, we bring fewer things, but they are big things.
This year, we have multiple events planned for our Main Stage, which is the Anaheim Convention Center’s (ACC) domed Arena. We also have our Second Stage and our Cabaret Stage in the Anaheim Hilton, and our Film Festival in the ACC North building.
Our Main Stage events this year are:
- Thursday, August 27, 7:30pm Pacific: Opening Ceremonies
- Friday, August 28: Details coming soon!
- Saturday, August 29, 8:00pm Pacific: Masquerade
- Sunday, August 30, 8:00pm Pacific: The Hugo Awards Ceremony
On Second Stage, we will be offering a variety of theatrical performances, game shows, and more! A small amuse-bouche for you now with more to come…
- Saturday, August 29, 4:00pm Pacific: Go Fact Yourself
- Monday, August 31, 3:00pm Pacific: Closing Ceremonies
Our Cabaret Stage will be the hub of musical performances! All of our concerts and dances will be there, including a Friday night dance featuring DJ John Scalzi.
Last but not least, we can’t wait to welcome you to the LAcon V Film Festival. This curated festival will feature independent filmmaking from around the world, all five days of the convention.
If you have any ideas for events for LAcon V, or would like to get involved and help, please contact us at events@lacon.org.
