What’s the old saying? “You should always be yourself, unless you can be Ellen Ripley. Then you should be Ellen Ripley.” Mingle with other sci fi and fantasy enthusiasts and enjoy futuristic sound waves via our in house DJ. Meet the talented local sci fi and fantasy artists of the exhibit “Infinite Worlds: The Art of the Fantastic” showing in the DAC’s Julia C. Butridge Gallery and create your own fandom art. Bring out your inner Dana Scully or Boba Fett for the ultimate cosplay contest and capture the moment forever at our cosmic photo booth, complete with the quintessential balloon arch decor. Free food and drinks!

Cosplay is encouraged, but of course not required.

Parking at the DAC is free but limited. There is additional parking options available off Riverside Drive and Lee Barton Drive. We also want to encourage all our friends to drive safely, or better yet catch a taxi, ride share, bus or bike!
