ESCANABA — It’s time to make like a tree and order your tickets to BAY-CON, McFly.

To mark its fifth year, BAY-CON will be a two-day event with events running May 1-2 at Bay College in Escanaba.

“Want to meet a favorite celebrity voice actor or animator, or be escorted by a stormtrooper? Are you looking for a special vinyl record or original artwork? Come to BAY-CON,” reads the event page. “See favorite childhood toys and pass on that love to the next generation! Re-live yesteryear playing Atari, Nintendo, Sega, and more vintage games. Enjoy Star Wars? The Force is strong with BAY-CON. Want to eat tantalizing food from amazing food trucks? Come on over.”

The event will feature a large vendor space, food trucks, vintage video gaming, a cosplay contest, trivia, a slate of celebrity guests, and a weekend full of family fun.

“Travel back in time to visit your childhood,” said Dave Laur, founder of BAY-CON. “BAY-CON is an amazing trip down memory lane that explores and celebrates pop culture, including toys, video games, music, movies and so much more.”

Laur said Friday’s “Friday Night Geek Fight” will feature laser tag, Magic the Gathering, tabletop RPG gaming, tournaments in video games and pinball, plus the vendor hall and special guests. Saturday will feature the vendors and guests as well as cosplay, trivia, and more.

“Our special guests this year are Carla Perez, Jason Moore, Alejandra Reynoso and Andre Sogliuzzo,” he said.
