COVINGTON — For more than 35 years, the Dragon Con convention has tapped into the varied interests of its ever-growing constituency, hosting events ranging in subject matter from science and technology to anime to costuming and alternate realities.
Referred to as “the largest multi-media, popular culture convention focusing on science fiction and fantasy, gaming, comics, literature, art, music and film in the universe,” Dragon Con — which is held each Labor Day weekend in Atlanta — began humbly with some 1,500 attendees in 1987 and now is a present-day cultural behemoth, welcoming more than 70,000 people with five different downtown hotels offering activities.
