• NärCon Sommar 2026

    July 23–26

    Linköping University

  • The Biggest Cosplay and Gaming Festival in Northern Europe

    NärCon is a unique event. It's an alcohol and drug free festival where you make new friends, cosplay and play games together. There are over 1 000 scheduled activities, from talks and shows to games and tournaments, but it's the social atmosphere that NärCon is really about; it's a meeting place for everyone with nerdy hobbies.

    — Official Aftermovie —

    Over 20.000 participated in NärCon Sommar 2025 and we had a blast! 💙

  • Welcome to NärCon

    Imagine a place where no one is alone and everyone is your friend.

    Imagine a place where you can be yourself. Or invent yourself.

    A place where you are accepted just the way you are, or want to be.

    Where people of all ages and genders meet.

    A place where you create memories that will last forever.

    Where you are always welcome, and everyone is happy to see you.

     

    Imagine a place where no one is alone and everyone is your friend.

     

    Imagine NärCon.

  • The feeling was magical

    "Late nights, hanging out with awesome people and having the time of my life! You could feel the excitement and love from everyone there. I felt safe in the large crowd without fear of being judged for my outfit. When the convention ended it felt like my world was falling apart"

    - Susanna Ilves Laakkonen
