The Who, what, & Why

CulpeperCon is a graphic novel and pop-culture-inspired event sponsored by the Friends of the Culpeper County Library. CulpeperCon is a fun, free, family-friendly event that brings together fans and creators to celebrate the importance of stories and fandoms that connect us and enrich our lives. Highlighting graphic literature, sequential art, and comics as a literary medium, CulpeperCon includes a cosplay contest, keynote speaker, games, artwork, graphic novels, demonstrations, and community superheroes giving attendees the opportunity to dive into topics these interest.

We hope you all have a fantastic time!
