A post on the MegaCon Facebook page on Wednesday explained that the postponement was part of a continuing attempt to deliver the “safest, best possible fan experience” as the coronavirus pandemic stretches on into 2021.
Last year was a tough one (obviously) for MegaCon and similar conventions across the country, and without a robust vaccine rollout, it’s going to be hard for events like this — which feature packed crowds and close-quarters photo ops — to go forward. MegaCon canceled all 2020 in-person programming after initial postponements.
This year’s MegaCon is now scheduled to take place on Aug. 12-15, though still at the Orange County Convention Center.
Tickets for March will be honored during the August dates. Refunds are also available through MegaCon’s website.
