Welcome to Calicon 2026
Nov. 7th
CaliCON is an annual celebration of collaboration, craftsmanship, and immersive experiences. Originally an open house for Calimacil, it has since grown into a full-fledged convention. Hosted in our workshop, it brings together some of our most valued collaborators—artisans, creators, and leaders in the immersive leisure market—to showcase their unique skills, creations, and expertise. Attendees can explore a wide array of activities, including archery, sword-fighting workshops, and crafting demonstrations, while discovering exclusive products and projects. CaliCON highlights past, present, and future innovations, fostering a creative community united by a passion for immersive adventures.
