Shreveport's comic con, Geek'd Con, is coming back to Downtown Shreveport this August. The 2024 Geek'd Con will take place August 16th, 17th, and 18th, at the Shreveport Convention Center.

Geek'd Con has become one of the biggest "comic con" style events in the state of Louisiana since it started in Downtown Shreveport back in 2015. The event has welcomed over 10,000 fans each weekend since the start. It has also brought millions of dollars in economic impact to the Shreveport and Bossier area.

Every year there are dozens of celebrities that attend the event. From blockbuster movie stars to anime voice actors, and of course...comic book creators. The guest lineup will for 2024 includes the stars of the legendary blockbuster movie E.T. Henry Thomas and Dee Wallace, Scrubs star John C. McGinley, the voice of Master Chief Steve Downes, award winning actor Billy Zane, the voice of Mickey Mouse Bret Iwan, and many more incredibly talented celebrities.

A big part of Geek'd Con this year will be the Bricks 4 Kidz Brick Building Lab. This will take place in the beautiful Red River Boardroom, overlooking Downtown Shreveport.

You can work with thousands of bricks to build your own creation. Or you can help build the Mickey Mouse mosaic that weekend. Your creation could even win you some great prizes during the weekend.

All of this is FREE at Geek'd Con. So after you meet your favorite celebrity, check out the Sports Card Expo, and shop from the vendors, you can make your way to the Brick Building Lab to enjoy some Lego leisure time.
