A Legacy of Local Fandom
Established in 2013 by local enthusiasts Trent Rogers and Terry Wardell, the Sarnia Pop Culture Show has evolved from a grassroots gathering into the region’s premier celebration of comics, cosplay, and gaming.
Fandom with a Purpose
Beyond the fun, we are a dedicated fundraiser for St. Clair Child & Youth Services, donating a portion of every ticket to support mental health initiatives for local families.
Fun for the whole family
We pride ourselves on being an affordable, all-ages event where children 11 and under enter for free, allowing parents to share their favourite fandoms, from vintage toys to modern gaming, with the next generation.

Yes. The Point Edward Arena is a ground-level facility with fully accessible entryways and washrooms, ensuring that fans of all abilities can enjoy the event.
While some vendors may have card readers, we strongly recommend bringing cash to avoid disappointment. We do have ATM's on site, but they have run out in the past (We can't control how much they stock them, it's controlled by the facility)
Cosplay is highly encouraged! However, safety is our priority. All costume props must be inspected at the entry. Functional firearms, metal blades (live steel), and real weapons are strictly prohibited. Replica weapons must be clearly marked and secured (peace-bonded) by our security team upon arrival.
