Winona Con 2026

Winona Con 2026 is back for its second year, building on the excitement and community energy that made the inaugural event such a standout in the Driftless Region. Attendees can expect an even larger lineup of board games, RPGs, miniatures, live events, vendors, and special programming, all designed to celebrate creativity and connection around the tabletop. With expanded play spaces, returning favorites, and brand‑new experiences, this year’s convention promises a full weekend of discovery, laughter, and unforgettable moments for gamers of every style.

Take a moment to read our Attendee Guide and our Code of Conduct before the convention. There are plenty of Lodging and Food Options nearby.
