The Longview Public Library will once again host its community-led mini fan convention on Saturday, February 21, 2026, bringing a full day of family‑friendly activities to 1600 Louisiana Street. According to the City of Longview’s event announcement at Longview News Flash and the library’s official event page at LongCon 2026, the event runs from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. and will transform the library into a multi‑room celebration of comics, cosplay, gaming, anime, sci‑fi, and other fan communities.

Organizers describe LongCon as an inclusive gathering designed for all ages. Activities listed across the library’s official calendars include vendor and artist booths, panel discussions, hands‑on workshops, cosplay participation, kids’ crafts, dance showcases, and a returning fan favorite: the lip sync battle. These details appear consistently across the library’s calendars at Longview Library Events and the Friends of the Longview Library event listing at Friends of the Library: LongCon 2026.

The 2026 program builds on previous years of the event, which has become a locally cherished chance for fans to gather, create, and share in a welcoming space. While full activity schedules for 2026 have not yet been finalized, the City’s notice emphasizes wig and makeup workshops, games, and additional activities throughout the library.

Attendance is free and open to the public. Those interested in participating in the lip sync battle or applying as vendors can find the appropriate forms linked through the City’s event page at LongCon 2026.

With multiple sources confirming the schedule and offerings, LongCon continues to serve as a notable example of community‑driven programming within Longview’s public institutions.
