December and January are great months for comic cons in Florida, reports Florida Comic Cons, a news media website that covers conventions and cosplayers in The Sunshine State.
In December and January there are six conventions to put on your radar screen. There are two in Orlando, two in Miami, one in Central Florida, and one in the Tampa Bay area. Barring the panhandle, most fans and cosplayers in the state are within a few hours’ drive to at least one convention in December or January. We keep all of this on our Con Calendar.
