In its inaugural year in 2018 – even in the midst of a blizzard that dropped over 14 inches of snow on the metro Detroit area on the same weekend – the event drew 2,000+ attendees from all over the world, selling out the hotel in less than one day and playing host to 20+ celebrities. In its second year, Astronomicon grew by 50% and had 3,500 attendees, and continues to grow as the newest pop culture convention in Metro Detroit.

Astronomicon The Making Of: A Pop Culture Convention, a documentary that takes viewers behind the scenes to experience what goes into the production and end result of a convention, was released late last year via Amazon Prime. Through incredible convention video footage and interviews with organizers Twiztid, the hard-working Astronomicon staff, guests and fans, viewers will get a feel for the Astronomicon experience and learn why its dedicated fanbase has made it Metro Detroit’s fastest-growing convention.
