My Annual List of Florida’s Pop Culture Events: 2021

, , , , , , 1 Comment

My old Facebook pet project turned annual blog post is now a mishmash of “maybes” and “subject to changes” thanks to, you guessed it, COVID-19. For those of you that found this link and are here for the first time: welcome! Here’s what you’re looking at:

In the early 2000s, shortly after I started Wasabi Anime, I began paying attention to the sudden proliferation of anime conventions in Florida. This expanded into a focus on all “pop culture” or “geek” events in the later years and, around 2009, I started creating an annual list on my Facebook to share with friends. After doing this a few years, I got asked to share the information publicly so, starting in 2013, I’ve been creating an annual blog post about the planned events taking place in the Sunshine State. As as result, I’ve seen large events disappear, small events become large, and some pretty legendary dumpster fires along the way. Here are links to the past lists in you’re interested:

2020 | 2019 | 2018 | 2017 | 2016 | 2015 | 2014 | 2013

NOTE: The 2020 blog post is pre-COVID and contains a link directing you to the updated list.

In 2013, there were just over 20 pop culture events. In 2019, the year started out with almost 90 total. Here’s what I’ve found for 2021. If you know of one I’ve missed, please email me at Tom@GeekThatTravels.com so I can add it.
