About CoastCon

CoastCon is Mississippi's longest-running and largest science fiction, fantasy, and gaming convention. It is the main sponsored event of CoastCon, Inc., a non-profit literary organization. CoastCon, Inc. and its ten-member volunteer board develops events and gatherings to promote reading, education, fellowship, and science fiction, fantasy, and gaming in all formats across the Southern United States, for over forty years.
