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, we want to be very upfront that the first-year of Halcy-Con has been designed with adult superfans in mind and expect that the finalized event schedule will reflect this. 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, and we ask that parents take an active role in monitoring their children’s activities. We will not be having a kids’ programming track nor designating any programming as specifically for children.
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.
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 going to be 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. All viable proposals will then be voted on by the badgeholders to determine the event content. Let your imagination run wild!
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 planning on accepting submissions for vendor/artist space in Spring. 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 vendors/artists must produce at least one exclusive item that is only available for purchase at Halcy-Con.
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.
