Winona Con 2025

As this is our first annual convention, there aren't a lot of Frequently Asked Questions, but we can guess what some of them might be. So let's get started.

Is a badge required?

A badge is required to attend the convention on Friday and Saturday. Sunday is open to the public, however you will need to purchase a badge if you wish to participate in any of the scheduled events or activities. No badge is required on Sunday to play on the Open Gaming tables.

Is cosplay allowed at this event?

Absolutely! But please remember that this is a family oriented event so make sure your cosplay is suitable for all ages. Event staff reserves the right to ask you to change if what you are wearing is deemed unsuitable for our audience.

Can I bring my pet to the convention?

While the hotel has pet friendly rooms, unfortunately we cannot allow you to bring your pets or emotional support animals into the convention space. Service Animals of course are always allowed.

Is this a safe space for my family?

We strive to keep the space safe for gamers of all ages. However, some games may be for a more mature audience. These games will be reserved for the smaller spaces while the main convention space will remain family friendly all days. The entire convention will be family friendly on Sunday.
