Galaxycon events are quickly becoming known as one of the largest and most well respected touring conventions, visiting cities such as Columbus, Richmond, Raleigh, San Jose, and Des Moines on a yearly basis. This self-described festival of fandom provides jam-packed weekends chock full of celebrity encounters, insightful panels, exciting Q&A sessions, incredible cosplay, fun after hour events, and a schedule so full of optional events that you’ll be exhausted by the time the weekend is over.

While we are still 79 days out from Galaxycon Richmond, the guest list is already overflowing with great guest appearances, including: Ian McDiarmid (Star Wars), Maggie Lawson (Psych), Timothy Omundson (Psych), William Shatner (Star Trek), Giancarlo Esposito (Breaking Bad), Carl Weathers (Predator), Anthony Michael Hall (The Breakfast Club), Katee Sackoff (The Mandalorian), Emily Sallow (The Mandalorian), Brett Spiner (Star Trek), Logic (Musician), Ron Perlman (Hellboy), Joey Lawrence (Blossom), Matthew Lawrence (Boy Meets World), Jesse Ventura, Peter Cullen (Transformers), Troy Baker (The Last of Us), Dana Snyder (Aqua Teen Hunger Force), Ric Flair, Sting, and more.

In total there are already 61 guests announced, from celebrities and wrestlers to voice actors and creators, with all likelihood of more guests being added in the weeks leading up to the convention.

Each guest will offer opportunities to get autographs at their tables along with professional photo ops and often selfies. Galaxycon is great at providing fans with a multitude of ways to meet your favorite entertainment icons, with celebrity guests often going above and beyond to ensure their fans have a worthwhile experience.

This year, Galaxycon Richmond will also be offering a few opportunities to catch popular podcasts being recorded live, such as The Psychologists Are In with Maggie Lawson and Timothy Omundson, a hilarious and often insightful podcast celebrating the hit TV show Psych, and Blah Blah Blah with Katee Sackoff.
