What is CoastCon?

CoastCon, Inc. is a non-profit organization that hosts Mississippi's Science Fiction and Fantasy Convention. The corporation is run by a ten-member Board, the members of which volunteer their time to host events throughout the year to promote "fandom" in the Southern Region. Each year CoastCon, Inc. hosts a three-day convention; the 2010 convention will be "CoastCon 33". During this convention we will raise money for our sponsored Charity, Hope Haven Children's Shelter.

When and where?

CoastCon 33 will be held March 5-7, 2010 at the Mississippi Coast Coliseum in Biloxi, Mississippi.

Times:
Friday Noon - 1:00 AM
Saturday 9:00 AM - 1:00 AM
Sunday 9:00 AM - 5:00 PM

What will happen at CoastCon 33?

As you can see from the navigation bars on the left, CoastCon offers a lot of different activities for science-fiction, fantasy, animae, comic book, horror, and gaming fans. Fans will have the chance to meet a variety of media, art, author, gaming, and science GUESTS, and can attend PANELS AND SEMINARS hosted by each guest. Art enthusiasts can browse through our ART SHOW, then bid on pieces in the ART AUCTION. Our MERCHANT ROOM is a great place to buy unique, fannish items (great for finding jpgts for the geek in your life!). The vendors from the Merchant Room, along with businesses in the community, donate items to our CHARITY AUCTION to help us raise money for Hope Haven. For those who like to dress up and get on stage, we have the COSTUME CONTEST and the "SLAVE AUCTION". And one of the best parts about the convention....the GAME ROOM, which hosts all kinds of gaming during the weekend. We hope that you will join us!
