Andrew Kozlowski and friends from Duval Comic and Zine (DCAZ) return for another Mini-Comic and Zine Making Activity in the Conference Room. We're inviting around 20 local artists, authors, and makers to sell their original and fandom-inspired creations at the event. There will even be a Karate Demonstration with students from local dojo Asian Dragon Martial Arts!

  • Get your cosplay photos with the Beaches Photography Club
  • Demos with Fletcher Middle School "Beach Bumz" Robotics Club
  • Lightsaber combat tips with the Last Council Saber Academy
  • Scavenger hunts, button making, games, craft stations, and more!
