Infinity Con, a convention for comics, gaming, and pop culture, was held in Gainesville.
The event featured vendor booths, costume contests, and video and board games.
Highlights included The Fallout Xperience attraction and artist Christopher Burdett.
Gainesville residents in the fall flock to familiar events like The Fest, Tom Petty Weekend, the Downtown Festival & Art Show, and Gator football games. But another new tradition is carving out its own space for fans of comics, gaming and pop culture: Infinity Con.
Held Nov. 15–16 at the Alachua County Sports and Events Center, the convention offered guests a chance to browse vendor booths, join or watch costume contests, play video and board games, and much more.
David Heringer, owner and director of immersive events for Infinity Con, said this year’s event marks the convention’s first “real” year in Gainesville after hurricane-related setbacks last year. Founded in Lake City in 2014, Infinity Con later expanded to Tallahassee in 2019 before finding a home in Gainesville.
