Venmo: eRockGG

Early bird pricing currently set, prices will go up

Welcome vendors, artists, cosplayers, film makers, content creators, and everyone who loves horror and pop culture. Come join us June 5-7,2026. We currently have 2 types of booths available, outlined below. This is not our first time working a con on the island. In 2018 we were a part of "Put In Play Con" that unfortunately was not renewed for a second year due to the owners focusing on their start up of Bash on the Bay. In 2025 we had our first I🫀GORE Fest without out celebrities, other than the GOREgous Girls. In 2026 we will be adding celebrities the will be announced as we get them locked in.

Vendors we ask that you do not sell any firearms or anything prohibited by law. We are not looking for food truck vendors at this time.

🏨Host hotel: Grand Islander Hotel
Pricing to be announce for 2026. Last year was $159 per night for our con, (usually $289 a night) while supplies last. You must call them to book our rate: (419)285-5555

⛴️Ferries are the most common ways to get you on the island. Most of our crew will be using Miller Ferries but you can use Jet express too. When setting our booth prices we factored in that you guys will have these expenses so we set them low. The ferry prices vary but you can find their links, on our main link, that'll direct you too which ever ferry you choose. Plan on spending approximately $100 round trip for 2 people and vehicle. A trailer cost extra (depending on size). You do not have to take a vehicle over but I know most of you will need too for your booth set ups and supplies. The process is pretty easy to get on the ferry and is first come first serve for vehicles. The earlier you get there Friday morning, the better. We suggest that you come on Thursday (or earlier) so you beat the rush and can check out the island more, especially if you've never been before.
⛴️ Miller Ferry: Save $2 OFF Adult Round Trip. You must provide a printed or digital copy of our coupon.
There is no discount for vehicles.

🛺Golf Cart and island travel:
Golf carts are the best way to get around on the island once you're there. Otherwise most things are within walking distance around town. You can take shuttle buses for $3 per person from the miller ferry to the bus hub near Downtown and walk from there.
