Year Two of Tri-City Con was a HUGE hit bringing in over 2500 people and raising $1305 for the Grace Cancer Foundation! So let's make TCC 3 an even bigger show!
Setup for all Vendors and artists is Friday, March 13th from 12-8pm. The Tri-City Con will be open to the public on March 14th and 15th from 9 am to 6 pm on Saturday and 10am to 5pm on Sunday.
Get your registration turned in RIGHT AWAY! Don’t wait! Registration for EARLY BIRD SPECIAL will only be available for 30 days from posted date of 4/2/2025. As we wish to accept everyone late applications and unpaid invoices will negate your participation. As the list starts to fill up we will do our best to accommodate everyone and keep everyone updated as we near the event date.
Get your registration turned in RIGHT AWAY! Don’t wait! While we wish to accept everyone, we have had so many inquiries because of the success for our first Con that we WILL sell out again this year. We will do our best to accommodate everyone and keep everyone updated as we near the event date.
Confirmations will be sent out after registration is competed and payment is received. Booth assignments will come to you just a couple of weeks prior to the show. If you are worried that we might not have your application, please check with us. Otherwise, if you are not accepted, you’ll receive your application and fee back.
AI generated Artwork will not be tolerated.
Unloading/Loading/Parking: You may set up anytime on March 13th starting at 12:00pm until 8:00pm , but you can also set up Saturday morning if needed before the show. We ask that all vendors are set up by 9 when we open the doors. We will try to have extra volunteers at the Venue to assist bringing product in. Tri-City Con cannot guarantee that we will have volunteers, so please plan accordingly when it comes to loading/unloading.
After unloading, promptly move your vehicle. On show day, please park away from all the doors and save the close parking for our customers. There is a large lot to the west of the building for vendor parking, especially after unloading. Please do not drop trailers close to the building unless instructed to do so. Dropping your trailer without permission will negate future participation. More parking specifications will come with your confirmation letter. Driving directions and hotel accommodations will be posted on our Facebook page.
Security: Please do not leave your booth unattended for any length of time during the show. Please keep valuable items within your possession at all times. Double Locked Security will be covering the building at night so items can be left in place. Tri-City Con is not responsible for any lost or stolen items. We will provide you with Vendor Courtesy if needed and if we have the volunteers. Just ask for assistance!
Sales Tax License: All vendors are responsible for the collection of Sales Tax. Tri-City Con is not responsible in any way for the collection of any Sales Tax.
Cancellations Policy: We understand that circumstances may make some vendors or artists unable to attend the event. If you decide you don’t wish to participate in the event due to health and safety concerns, please notify us prior to February 23rd, 2026 for a refund. Booth fees will not be refunded if cancellation happens less than one week before the show unless the event is canceled by the event host due to health and safety reasons.
You will be provided a packet which will include all necessary information and entrance lanyards. Lanyard should be worn at all times during the event. All doors will be locked on the outside except the main doors on the East end of the building. You may go out the other doors, but please do not allow others to enter the building from these doors.

Vendor Etiquette: This is a family friendly event. Be respectful to the volunteers helping run the show, your vendor neighbors, and the public. No political info will be distributed or on display. Sexist and insulting behavior/comments will not be tolerated. If you cannot adhere to the rules set forth, please don't fill out this application.
