Winona Con has been announced to return in 2026. This is fantastic news and we’re so happy to tell everyone. You read it correctly: Winona Con is returning after an amazing first year, and we’re planning to make the next year bigger, bolder and filled with even more table top adventures than last year.
Winona Con 2026 will run from Friday November 20th through Sunday November 22nd, 2026.
We encourage you to put these dates on your calendar now, add a reminder to your phone, and circle those dates in bright red ink.
A three-day weekend of gaming, community and creative expression are on the way and we’d love for you to join us for every single second. What do we have in store for you this time? More of the things that made you love Winona Con, plus many surprises. We are adding to our programming by offering more board games, RPG’s, miniature games and other special programs. With these additions, players will have more options than ever to explore the worlds they enjoy. The Helios Starship Simulator will also be available for brave crews to protect space stations against Karelian and Skaran enemies. Mega Games will also be returning and providing large scale, high energy experiences which transform the whole room into a living, breathing game board.
Regardless if you attended Winona Con before or if you’re attending for the very first time, Winona Con 2026 will provide you with a weekend of exploration, challenges and memories that will last a lifetime. And just a little teaser to keep the excitement going: in early 2026, we will begin hosting a series of Mini-Cons – smaller, more focused events that give you the opportunity to play certain games during the remainder of the year. These gatherings will give attendees a glimpse into what the full convention experience looks like while helping keep the community together and interested until November comes around.
Watch our Facebook Page and Discord Channel to be informed when these events are scheduled, how to sign up and what games will be played. Winona Con is evolving and creating something unique — and we’re looking forward to sharing it all with you.
