“What I love about Eureka is we have a mix of all the different cultures,” said Star. Classics like “Star Wars” and the newer Marvel Cinematic Universe are always fan favorites, but Star is mindful of branching to make sure there’s something for everyone at the event. Star added that it was mostly girls petitioning for the new category, exemplifying the diverse group of fans and interests the event brings. “So we have a division just for anime now because of the kids.” “They got mad at me the last time we were up there because we didn’t have a division for anime,” said Star. And Ohana Comic Con founder Tom “Ziggy” Star has expanded the categories after feedback from the local community.

In what could be the ultimate dress rehearsal for Humboldt County residents ready for Halloween, those eager to show off their costumes (or with a multitude of options) can break them out Saturday and Sunday at the event.

Highlighting the event will be appearances from voice actor Mark Dodson and original Star Wars cast member Alan Fernandes, as well as the various cosplay contests that are sure to draw plenty of colorful entrees. For the first time since 2019, Ohana Comic Con will be hosting a convention this week at the Red Lion Hotel in Eureka this weekend.
