If it's Labor Day weekend, it's time for Dragon Con! The multigenre convention, originally founded in 1987, is a beloved holiday for devotees of science fiction, fantasy, comic books, and many other elements of fan culture. Aside from the amazing costumes, pop-culture events, meet-and-greets with some of your favorite authors and artists, it's probably the best people watching in the city. The event will have its 12th annual parade complete with storm troopers, various panels, autograph sessions and tons of special events.
