Can I wear costumes and bring prop weapons, lightsabers and droids to the event?
You bet! We have specific permission from the venue for prop weapons, lightsabers and even droids! Attendees must practice safety and common sense and always be aware of the location of other nearby attendees when handling lightsabers. Droids must not damage the venue flooring.
Is this event youngling-friendly?
While younglings are allowed at this event, Halcy-Con has been designed with adult superfans in mind. At this time, we do not anticipate having a specific kids’ programming track in 2025. Children 6 and under will be admitted free when accompanied by an adult with a paid badge. Ages 7 and up will need their own event badge to attend. We ask that parents take an active role in monitoring their children’s activities and participation in Halcy-Con programming sessions.
Is this event endorsed or sponsored by Disney and/or Lucasfilm Ltd?
No, this is a purely fan-created event. It is not sponsored or endorsed by either The Walt Disney Company or Lucasfilm, Ltd.
Ticketing and Room Block
--
Will there be single-day or day-of-event badges available?
Halcy-Con is designed to be a multi-day unique boutique experience with a variety of different activities each day. We will not have single-day or day-of-event badges available for purchase.
--
How can I transfer my event badge?
When you originally bought your badge(s) from this site you received an order confirmation email containing a QR code for each badge purchased. You can easily transfer event badge(s) to another person by providing them with the QR code(s) of the badge(s) you wish to transfer. Badge pickups onsite will be “first scan wins” and replacement badges will not be provided for badge orders that have been successfully picked up, so only share or accept badge QR codes with trusted individuals.
Panels and Activities
--
This event is described as sandbox/playground style. What is that?
Unlike traditional convention events that feature a show schedule determined by the showrunners, the content at Halcy-Con is determined and created BY the Starcruiser Superfan attendees, FOR the Starcruiser Superfan attendees. Shortly after badge sales end, all badgeholders will be able to submit proposals for panels, exhibits and events. These will be reviewed by the event team to assess feasibility and potential legal/safety issues. We will then assemble a dazzling array of programming sessions for attendees to enjoy!
See our Sessions page for more on the types of programming we anticipate offering at Halcy-Con 2025 and our Programming Submission page for details on how to become a part of the action.

How are programming sessions selected?
Once submissions close, the Halcy-Con administrative team will review all proposals for feasibility as well as content. We are looking for proposals that will allow us to put together a programming slate with a diverse range of programming items from a diverse range of presenters. Inclusion in the program is entirely at the discretion of the Halcy-Con admin team. We reserve the right to cap hours of participation for individual presenters, both to allow time and space for many presenters and to ensure that everyone presenting also has plenty of time to enjoy the rest of the con!
--
Do I need a separate ticket to the Halcyon Daze documentary screening?
We are currently expecting to have a screening of the full Halcyon Daze documentary at Halcy-Con 2025. This is not a separately ticketed event, all event badgeholders will be able to attend this screening at no additional cost.
Vendors and Artists
--
Will there be vendors, artists and exclusive merchandise at Halcy-Con?
You bet! We will have a vendor/artist space at the event. This will not be a huge show floor with random pop culture merch, but a highly focused selection of vendors and artists that feature Galactic Starcruiser or Galaxy’s Edge fan art and artifacts.
How do I apply for vendor space?
We are accepting submissions from Artists/Makers for 2025 Merchant spaces until March 15. We had an exceptional turn out for Ma’Li’s Marketplace in 2024 and expect Halcy-Con 2025 to be even better! And, like last year, all Artists/Makers must produce at least one exclusive item that is only available for purchase at Halcy-Con.
My Merchant application was approved! What do I have to buy?
Each approved Merchant must purchase a table and at least one Merchant badge.
Can approved Merchants share a table in the Marketplace?
Merchants may share a table with another approved Merchant if they have been approved to do so in writing by our Vendor Director.
I am an approved Merchant and previously purchased a 2025 General Attendee badge. Do I have to buy another Merchant badge?
No, but you MUST let our Vendor Director know of this so that you receive Vendor credentials.
I loved the exclusive-item sticker that was made available for 2024 Merchants to put on their exclusive items. Are you doing this again in 2025?
We’re so glad that you liked them! Yes, we are looking at doing this again for 2025, stay tuned for more details.
I am an approved Merchant, how many Marketplace tables am I allowed to purchase?
Each approved Merchant may purchase one Marketplace table. If you have the need for more than one table, please contact our Vendor Director. Any table purchases made by non-approved vendors will be refunded.
How many Merchant Assistant badges are approved Merchants allowed to purchase?
Each approved Merchant may have up to three Assistants. Every Assistant present onsite each day will need their own badge.
I have a question not answered here. What do I do?
Check the Marketplace & Merchants section on our FAQ page for the latest updates, or email our Vendor Director, Constance Eza, at merchantservices@halcy-con.com.
Event Volunteers
--
I'd like to help, are you accepting event volunteers?
Absolutely! In the next few months we will be opening up submissions for attendees to volunteer a block of time to assist with event operations. If you volunteer a block of time to assist, you still must be a badge-holding attendee, but there will be some fun volunteer perks…come join the “Teal Team”!
Details will be posted as we get closer to the show.
