Rochester, MN - What began as a small passion project has grown into a must-attend event for pop culture enthusiasts across Minnesota. NerdinOut Con, now in its sixth year, is set to transform the Graham Arena into a vibrant celebration of all things nerdy from April 12-13th. Owner Brad, a local entrepreneur who has expanded from a modest storefront to multiple retail locations, isn't just hosting another convention – he's creating an inclusive experience for families and fans of all ages. "We're breaking the misconception that comic cons are just about comic books," Brad explains. "This is a full Pop Culture Expo that has something for everyone."
The event promises an impressive lineup that goes far beyond traditional comic book conventions. Attendees can expect:
Meet-and-greets with TV and movie stars
Cosplay contests
Land speeder races for kids
Wrestling events featuring WWE legends
Gaming tournaments
Movie car displays, including iconic vehicles like the DeLorean from Back to the Future
Perhaps most appealing to families is the affordable pricing. A family of four can enjoy the entire event for just $40, making it an accessible entertainment option in a city Brad believes has limited recreational choices.
"We've created an intimate and fun experience," Brad says. "Unlike larger conventions that feel overwhelming, NerdinOut Con allows people to truly engage, take photos, and immerse themselves in the culture they love." From Star Wars enthusiasts to wrestling fans, from comic book collectors to casual pop culture fans, NerdinOut Con promises a weekend of entertainment that celebrates creativity, fandom, and community.
Tickets are available online at www.nerdinoutcomiccon.com or at the NerdinOut store in Rochester. The event runs April 12-13th at the Graham Arena. Whether you're a die-hard fan or simply curious, this year's NerdinOut Con invites Rochester to embrace its inner nerd!
