Comic Con 2019 Welcomes The 1st Kid Focused Convention In Africa - KIDSCON!

Joburg Admin / June 19, 2019

This Is The First KidsCon In Africa

As the first and entirely Kid focused convention in Africa, KidsCon is taking the term 'fun and games' to the next level by empowering kids to be expressive and embrace their individuality, so you see you teach them while they are young! KidsCon brings the whole family together at Gallagher Convention Centre in Midrand between the 21st and the 24th of September 2019. The interactive four-day convention is geared to celebrating and inspiring all kids to embrace the superhero withing and to cosplay along with those who are older, but still kids at heart. KIDSCON Edutainment has never looked this good, seamlessly bringing learning, playing and creativity together under one roof. To make sure that the kids rule the playground, KidsCon is designed by Kids for Kids, which is why the KidsCon Board of Little Experts was established. As a board of 14 diverse children (ages 5 to 10) the KidsCon experts shared their insights on various trends and products. Their input was used to create an unforgettable, dynamic and modern experience that’ll have parents itching to join in on the fun.

What Can The Kids Expect?

The kids who will be attending will be in for a treat, the festival will be stimulated as they engage with different interactive areas. Their creative flair will be sparked by the BIC Artist Corner then their imagination will surely run wild as they create new worlds while immersed in the Play-Doh Creations space. Visitors can also team up and face-off as they show off their blasting skills in the Hasbro Nerf Zone, and experience the Nerf Fortnite blaster range, or play it safe by challenging mom to a game of Monopoly or taking a photo with dad at the Nintendo selfie wall and win wonderful prizes. KIDSCON Visitors are in for a number of treats like meeting some of their favourite characters like, Mario Karts’ Mario and Luigi, your favourite My Little Pony and many more. Other activities include building a RC Car with Nintendo Labo and competing at the Transformers Speed Station to see who takes home the prize for transforming a Transformer in the least amount of time, and a chance to take a pic with Transformer Bumblebee. Besides the Mario Kart and Ultimate Dance competitions, there are numerous other giveaways at KidsCon. Families can shop, learn and play to their hearts content while enjoying the ultimate kids experience. Hosting the best fashion, the newest merchandise, a digital universe, and a gaming corner is only the tip of the iceberg. The awe-inspiring exhibitors will keep the whole family on their toes and occupied for hours. A world of wonder is coming soon.
