Magpie Trinket Swap
Sat. May 17th, 10am to 1pm
Pop Cultured invites all Magpies to our a shiny, shareable trinket swap where the treasures are tiny and the fun is free. Bring your little charms, pins, and other doodads to trade or donate, and poke through what others have left behind.
Pop Cultured will also have themed mystery bags of curated trinkets for sale — perfect for the curious and the collectors. One person’s pocket fluff is another’s prized find!
Zine Workshop
Sat. June 21st, 11am to 2pm
Join us for a hands-on zine-making adventure hosted by Pop Cultured in collaboration with Luna Moth Zine Fest! This free workshop is perfect for creatives, storytellers, and the zine-curious.
We’ll kick things off by diving into the wild, weird, and wonderful world of zines—bring your curiosity as we flip through all kinds, from the artsy to the activist. Then it’s time to get making! We’ll provide supplies and space; you bring your ideas, your vibes, and your hands. The final half-hour is a casual, open share where you can show off your creation (if you want!) and get inspired by others.
Whether you're a total newbie or a zine scene vet, this workshop is all about DIY expression, creativity, and community. Free to attend, all ages welcome!
Thank you to all the vendors and visitors who made
Pop Comic Con ‘24 such an amazing event!
Many thanks to everyone who made Pop Anime Con ‘24 the amazing event it was- from our contest judges, to our staff, to everyone at the mill, to everyone who came out for the day. Stranger than Fiction is the hilarious improv group that ended the evening with Anime-Osity. And the strolling magic was brought to you by Ryan Wallace, the Nerd Magician.
We’d like to give an extra big shout out to our vendors who brought everything from collectibles to handmade, comics to art, and everything in between. Please check out all these amazing people, see what events they’ll be attending next, and continue to shop and support them all year round:
