GeekCon has quickly become a highlight on the Nelson Mandela Bay events calendar, drawing families, fans, and communities together to celebrate everything from comics and gaming to cosplay and live entertainment.

Cosplay at GeekCon is more than just dressing up — it is a celebration of creativity, confidence, and community spirit, making it a perfect activity for children, parents, and anyone who loves the magic of imagination.
I also feature the incredible Pokémon habitats created by Chaos Crafts. These displays are not only a treat for dedicated Pokémon fans but also a fun and educational experience for families.

GeekCon is also about high‑energy entertainment, and this episode captures the thrill of live wrestling matches that had the crowd cheering. Wrestling at GeekCon adds a dynamic, family‑friendly spectacle that blends athleticism with storytelling, giving audiences of all ages something to enjoy.
Finally, I sit down for an exclusive interview with the event organiser herself. She shares the vision behind GeekCon, the challenges of bringing such a large‑scale convention to Nelson Mandela Bay, and the importance of creating a safe, welcoming space where families and fans can connect. Her insights reveal how GeekCon is not just an event but a growing tradition that strengthens community ties and celebrates local talent.
