VulCON is the weekend long Star Trek convention and collector event at the Vulcan Tourism & Trek Centre and this year it will be held from the 24th to the 26th of July, 2026.
Although many special events have been sold out, free admission events will occur through-out the community, like the collector’s market in the gymnasium at the County Central High School. And Flixbus services the venue itself but I suspect tickets have unfortunately already been sold out (but I would try anyway for last minute cancelations).
