For five years now, Zombicon has been a zombie-themed art and music festival held Downtown Fort Myers, FL. It gives people the chance to dress up and express their creativity by “zombying-up”, and filling the streets of our beautiful historic downtown. The very same downtown that was used in George Romero’s “Day of the Dead” in 1985. (Watch it on our VIDEOS page) Zombicon is run by “Pushing DaiZies, Inc.”, a non-profit organization hell-bent on collecting food donations for Harry Chapin Food Bank and blood donations for the Lee Memorial Blood Center. This year is a little different than past years. Zombicon WEEKEND (you heard right) will feature a daytime convention in the Harborside Convention Center filled with vendors, workshops, performances, interactivities, video games, movies, costume contests and more. When night falls, Zombicon hits the streets in a downtown-wide street festival with bands, DJs, drink specials, rides and more.
