CRAFT A CON 2025 was a spectacular time had by all! For being only a first-year convention, everything went very smoothly. The love and support that we received from fans showed us how much a comic convention in this unique category needs to continue happening in Louisiana. We’re also grateful to all of the attendees and vendors that repeatedly mentioned how excited they are for the 2026 season of our well-known sister event (Louisiana Retro Con)!
The activities and experiences were nonstop, featuring a FREE Play LEGO Zone, to mega-sized board games, a tabletop game lounge, a video game room, hands-on workshops, LIVE painting, an idol perfomance, MTG tournaments, and most importantly, our debuted $1,500 COSPLAY CONTEST that hosted numerous incredible contestants and their character interpretations.
We’d like to give a big THANK YOU to everyone that helped make this possible. Our volunteers and staff worked very hard to assist in making everything an enjoyable experience, and the feedback from attendees was all-around VERY positive. We’re also very grateful to our cosplay director and his hand-picked cosplay guests for collaborating an unforgettable moment during the cosplay competition. Our special guests and Louisiana film actors gave some amazing performances, Q&A panels, and workshops. Additionally, we believe that the VENDORS are some of the most important individuals at our convention, and we’re immensely grateful for all of their support and trust in our efforts to make this inaugural event a success for everyone participating.
Special thanks to John Stout of Kettlebriar's Workshop for sponsoring some amazing door prizes and Cosplay Contest awards, For the Fun of it for hosting their tabletop lounge, High Five Munchy for hosting a video game room, The Hive in McComb for hosting their MTG Aetherdrift Draft tournaments, and Four A Finds for sponsoring a large sum of LEGO bricks for the FREE Play Zone.
Lastly, thank you to the loving community of people that came out and supported this event. Without you guys, this wouldn’t even be possible!
