Fan Expo Denver 2026 Announces Star-Studded Reunions and Special Events

The upcoming Fan Expo Denver 2026 is set to become a premier destination for genre enthusiasts, taking place from May 28 through May 31 at the Colorado Convention Center in downtown Denver. Organizers have curated an impressive lineup of celebrities from the worlds of sci-fi, fantasy, horror, and gaming, ensuring the event shines brighter than ever before. Attendees can expect a vibrant atmosphere filled with panels, autograph sessions, a bustling marketplace, and family-friendly activities alongside opportunities to meet comic artists and voice actors. A major highlight of the convention is the Lord of the Rings 25th anniversary cast tour, featuring beloved hobbits Elijah Wood, Sean Astin, Billy Boyd, and Dominic Monaghan. They are joined by Orlando Bloom and John Rhys-Davies, bringing the epic fantasy saga to life for fans. In a unique twist, Elijah Wood will transition from actor to DJ under the moniker Wooden Wisdom, partnering with Zach Cowie for a vinyl-focused concert at Cervantes Masterpiece Ballroom on Sunday, May 31. Promoters describe this fantasy-themed rave experience as a chance to dust off cloaks and sharpen elvish ears for a night of curated music. Horror enthusiasts will thrill to a special Scream franchise reunion timed to coincide with the theatrical release of Scream 7, which recently secured the franchise's best box office opening with $64.1 million in U.S. ticket sales. The panel features resurgent stars Matthew Lillard, Skeet Ulrich, Jamie Kennedy, and Lee Waddell, though regulars Neve Campbell and Courtney Cox will not be present. Additionally, a mini-reunion for The Goonies brings together Sean Astin, Corey Feldman, Robert Davi, Joe Pantoliano, Kerri Green, and Martha Plimpton to celebrate the classic adventure film. The guest list extends far beyond these reunions, including notable names like Alec Baldwin, Cary Elwes, Lilli Cooper, Mike Coulter, Krystina Alabado, Josh Holloway, and Joel Perez. As with previous years, the pop-culture gathering will host a diverse array of creators and performers, offering something for every type of fan.
