2026 NW Blerd Convention
The Northwest Blerd Convention returns to Washington Hall in the Central District for a day celebrating Black nerd fandom — comics, gaming, anime, sci-fi and the communities built around them.
The program includes panels, retro and modern gaming, tournaments in UNO, Spades and Dominoes, and cosplay. The Artist Promenade, featuring local creators and vendors, is free and open to the public.
A free kickoff night, PRE-FUNK for the Northwest Blerd Convention, runs the evening before at the same venue with a screening of the 1994 superhero comedy “Blankman,” DJs and tattoo artists.
