EDMONTON — If you enjoy embracing your inner Sci-Fi geek, you should be in Alberta’s Capital City this weekend. The 2015 Edmonton Comic and Entertainment Expo is here at last.
It’s happening from Sept. 25 to 27 at the Edmonton EXPO Centre. The Expo celebrates some of modern pop culture’s biggest genres, like science fiction, horror, fantasy, and, of course, comics.
The Edmonton Expo is only in its fourth year, but attendance is expected to be high. Forty-seven thousand people came to last year’s Expo, and this year’s numbers are expected to rise. More than 500 volunteers will be on hand to help run the event.
There are several events for Expo-goers, including artist workshops, costume contests, and theatrical performances. There will also be speeches and lectures on pop culture-related topics, several panel discussions with artists and writers, even martial arts classes and Quidditch practices.

In addition, fans will have the opportunity on Saturday to take part in a spotlight panel and autograph session with comic godfather Stan Lee.
The Expo starts at 3 p.m. Friday and closes up on Sunday at 5 p.m.
