Louisiana Retro Con is a video game-focused convention that celebrates all things within the gaming spectrum. The event also showcases local artists, comic book authors, toy/comic vendors, and many more exhibits relevant to nerd culture. Proudly maintaining a very family-friendly setting, Louisiana Retro Con is a fun event for all age groups. For our next event, we will be celebrating the Sonic the Hedgehog franchise at Louisiana Retro Con Winter 2025, speeding in on February 1st and 2nd at the Lamar Dixon Expo Center in the TRADEMART building!
