FAN EXPO Vancouver 2027: stay near the Convention Centre

FAN EXPO Vancouver returns for a three-day weekend from February 13 to 15, 2027, taking over the West Building of the Vancouver Convention Centre. It is a full-on celebration of fan culture: celebrity Q&As and photo ops, autograph sessions, cosplay showcases, comic creators, anime panels and gaming booths all in one place. The show draws around 40,000 fans across the weekend, and the schedule runs late — Saturday until 8 PM, Sunday until 7 PM and Monday until 5 PM. Expect crowds around Canada Place, so staying within walking distance of the venue makes the weekend far easier. Beyond the main stage, there is an exhibitor floor with pop-culture merch, Artist Alley, a family zone and community meetups. Whether you are chasing a specific guest or just soaking up the cosplay, the three days fill up quickly. Hotels near the Vancouver Convention Centre book out early for this weekend. Reserving your room in advance keeps you close to the West Building entrance and to the restaurants and waterfront around Coal Harbour.
