FanX Salt Lake City is back for 2024, and it’s shaping up to be a must-attend event for fans of all things pop culture! Running from September 26-28, 2024, FanX offers an incredible mix of entertainment, from celebrity meet-and-greets to jaw-dropping cosplay, that makes it an annual favorite for fans of pop culture.

FanX 2024 is a family-friendly celebration of movies, TV, comics, games, and everything in between. If you’re a casual fan or an all-out geek, there’s something for everyone to enjoy. The event takes over the Salt Palace Convention Center in Salt Lake City, filling the space with vibrant energy and a ton of activities to explore.

If you’re a fan of dressing up, the cosplay scene at FanX is legendary. Attendees show up in highly detailed costumes, paying homage to their favorite characters from anime, video games, movies, and more. There is everything from homemade creations to professional-grade outfits and the creativity on display is awe-inspiring. If you’re participating in the cosplay or just admiring the work of others, this part of the event is a highlight every year.

One of the biggest draws is Celebrity Row, where fans can meet stars from their favorite shows and films. Every year, FanX brings in top-tier talent for autograph signings and photo ops. This year’s lineup is expected to feature a mix of actors, voice actors, and pop culture icons from across the entertainment spectrum. It’s your chance to get up close with stars you love and maybe even ask that burning question you’ve always had. Mel Gibson, Marissa Tomei, Sean Astin, and lots of others are there. Yesterday, I saw Elijah Wood and others from The Lord of the Rings, Ralphie (Peter Billingsley) and Flick (Scott Schwartz) from A Christmas Story, Lou Diamond Phillips, and Matthew Lillard, just to name a few.

Apart from meeting celebrities and seeing the cosplay, there’s so much to do:

• Panels and Q&A sessions: Hear directly from your favorite actors, creators, and artists in engaging discussions about their work, behind-the-scenes stories, and more.
• Workshops and activities: Dive into special events that teach you everything from drawing your own comics to perfecting your cosplay techniques.
• Vendor Hall: This is the perfect place to find rare collectibles, one-of-a-kind art pieces, and merchandise from all corners of fandom.

FanX also hosts fun events for the whole family, including photo ops, scavenger hunts, and kid-friendly activities, ensuring that attendees of all ages have a blast.

FanX isn’t just an event—it’s an experience. Every year, thousands of fans come together to celebrate what they love, and there’s a contagious sense of excitement in the air. Whether you’re making memories with your family or connecting with fellow fans over shared passions, this is an event that builds community. The costumes, celebrity encounters, and sheer variety of activities make it a fun-filled event you’ll want to return to again and again.

FanX tickets can be purchased online through their official website. There are various ticket options, ranging from single-day passes to VIP experiences that offer exclusive perks like early access to events and priority seating for panels. Be sure to buy early, as tickets tend to sell out quickly, especially for VIP and multi-day packages.

FanX is a can’t-miss event if you’re a fan of pop culture, and it only gets better every year. Whether you’re attending to cosplay, meet your favorite celebrities, or explore the endless activities, you’re in for an unforgettable experience! We’ve had so much fun already, we can’t wait for next year!
