UniCon is Latvia’s very own Comic Con - a festival for everything geeky: cosplay, anime, gaming, comics, eSports, tabletop RPGs, and more. It’s all about celebrating pop culture with thousands of fans.

We bring people together through shared passions - from our two big annual festivals to monthly community events that keep the energy going all year round.

Since 2013! Our journey started over a decade ago, and we’ve been growing with our amazing community ever since.

Tickets are available online via Bilesu Serviss and at the entrance during the event days.

- 1-day ticket (Friday): 19€

Prices are final - no early bird, no last-minute markup.

Absolutely! UniCon is one of the biggest fan events in the Baltics, bringing together people from Latvia and beyond. It’s the perfect place to meet others who love the same things you do - friendships often start here!

Nope! UniCon is for all ages. And kids under 7 come in free!

Yes, you can! Plus, we’ve got food vendors on-site, a diner area, and Olympia Mall just 10 minutes away. Free drinking water is also available.

Not from our exhibitors. The venue catering may offer it, but please drink responsibly - any inappropriate behavior means you’ll be asked to leave.

Most panels are in English, but you’ll find some in Latvian or Russian. Look for language flags in the printed and online schedule.

Unfortunately, venue policy does not allow pets (except service animals).

All kinds! From anime heroes and game icons to movie characters and original designs - UniCon is full of creativity and fandom fun.

Yes! Just sign up in advance - but keep in mind that stage spots are limited. Want to join? Check out the Participate page (Cosplay Rules) for all the details.

Totally! We love seeing newcomers. You can find everything you need to know on the Participate page (Cosplay Rules).

Of course! Dressing up just for fun is 100% welcome.

There are shared changing rooms you can use, but please note that in summer we don’t have lockers or a cloakroom available.

Some vendors accept cards, but not all. To be safe (and grab that cool stuff you spot), we recommend bringing some cash.

Yes! There’s a Swedbank ATM right at the venue entrance, and more ATMs inside the Olympia mall just 10 minutes away.

That’s up to you - but with so much awesome merch, art, and snacks around, it’s easy to find something worth spending on.

Yes! Just remember to be respectful - always ask before filming or photographing other visitors and respect their wishes if they decline.

Most likely! UniCon is covered by press, bloggers, and photographers. By attending, you agree that your photo may appear on our website, social media, or media publications.

Harassment of any kind is not welcome at UniCon. If you feel unsafe or uncomfortable, come straight to the Info Desk. We’re here to help and make sure UniCon stays fun, respectful, and safe for everyone.

We’d love to connect! Reach out to us at office@unicon.lv for all partnership and collaboration inquiries.

We hold recruitment meetups twice a year. Follow us on social media to catch the announcements! (Just note: attending a meetup doesn’t guarantee a staff spot - but it’s the first step.)
