Nostalgiacon

Saturday, September 28 to Sunday, September 29
Anaheim, CA

NostalgiaCon is the first ever annual pop culture convention dedicated to the celebration of decades past and the icons and events that defined them. In today’s world, we see more than ever the power of nostalgia and its infinite cultural reach.

NostalgiaCon’s Ultimate 80s Reunion will capture this phenomenon like never before, inviting like-minded fans of all ages to rediscover these 10 iconic years in fresh, fun and innovative ways. Anchored in Anaheim, CA, over two days, The Ultimate 80s Reunion consists of film and TV show reunions, pop culture sessions, celebrity meet and greets, breakdance and lip synch battle competitions, and a massive expo for activations featuring everything from movies, TV, fashion, food, sports, video games, collectibles, cars, and of course, music.

The music of the 80s is as vital today as it was then, and we’ll prove it with two concert nights featuring the biggest, most influential artists of new wave, heavy metal, pop rock, and hip-hop.

NostalgiaCon isn’t just a recap – it’s a renaissance. And it’s unprecedented.

Many fandom conventions span several decades. Some put together tribute concerts and themed cruises. We’re going deeper. The 80s aren’t just a memory, they’re a mindset. So rather than reduce the decade to clichés, catchphrases and greatest hits, we want to explore its deep and lasting cultural impact in a way that’s never been done before. Between the people who lived it the first time around and the millennials who can’t get enough, our demo is both prodigious and passionate. Attendees will be knowledgeable with a deep curiosity and boundless enthusiasm. Our goal is to provide an authentic, immersive and insightful experience that transcends the confines of convention – and the convention center.

NostalgiaCon: The Ultimate 80s Reunion. RELIVE YOUR DECADE.

Coronado Ferry Landing Art Walk

Saturday, October 20 at 10:00 AM to Sunday, October 21 at 5:00 PM
Coronado Ferry Landing, Coronado, CA

In 1983, Ronda Mills founded West Coast Artists and for over 30 years she has produced many of the finest art festivals throughout Southern California, Arizona and Nevada. The events promoted by Ronda feature exceptional artists and craftsmen offering high quality original artwork, from throughout the Western United States. West Coast Artists’ events have been among the highest-rated, superior-quality fine art shows in California.

Her goal is to bring to appreciative new audiences a wealth of ever-changing art from accomplished artists and craftsmen. The artists provide their patrons a finer appreciation that comes from sharing time and space with a piece of art, watching the sun color and shade a work over the course of an afternoon.

West Coast Artists’ shows are distinguished by scope of diversity and the wide variety of fine art. Presented are innovative works in differing styles of contemporary, traditional, modern, and southwest art for the discriminating individual or corporate collector. Hundreds of talented artists are proud to present their unique work in acrylic, collage, etchings, mixed media, oils, pencil, watercolors, digital and traditional photography.

Contemporary craftsmen present unique styles of individually handcrafted functional and decorative pottery, raku, turned wood vessels and gourd art. Among the objects of art you will find at any one of the many shows are one-of-a-kind works of sculpture in a variety of media such as bronze, clay, blown glass, paper, metal, stone and wood. Gifted artisans present their original custom designed and fabricated jewelry, art furniture, stained glass, and weavings. There is something for every taste and budget, be it a simple gift or the keepsake of a lifetime.

West Coast Artists’ shows are truly unique fusion of art, culture, and living. They are like 100 galleries at the same place and time, in a beautiful outdoor setting.

Admission and parking are free. The event is handicap accessible.
