It is the largest free convention in Poland, which grows every year with more and more participants. Since its first edition in 2013, it has been the largest free convention in Poland – and it has always been, and still remains, completely free for all participants. This year, you simply have to come to Opole from September 19th to 21st – it’s a one-of-a-kind opportunity in all of Poland!
Since the first edition in 2013, it has been the largest free convention in Poland, and has always been and still remains completely free for all participants.
During the day, at the Electrical School Complex, you will be able to participate in meetings with special guests, lectures, tournaments, competitions, play board games and buy things at the exhibitors’ stands – from the above-mentioned. games and sweets, through mugs and pillows, to handmade soaps and decorations. There will also be a cosplay competition, which is the most anticipated point of the program every year. Its participants will dress up as characters from broadly understood pop culture and present their handmade costume to the audience, usually presenting a short scene using it.

Good to Know
No entrance fee!
No tickets, registration, or fees are required. Just show up and enjoy the event! Opolcon is organized by the Opole Fantasy Club Fenix, and thanks to the dedication of volunteers and partners, the festival remains entirely free and open to all year after year.
Opolcon takes place on Kościuszki and Ozimska Streets, right next to Opole Główne Main Train Station – making it the perfect convention for train travelers. A calm walk from the platforms to the venues takes only a few minutes.
For those arriving by car, access is also convenient. The three school buildings that host the convention are reachable via Kościuszki and Ozimska Streets. Free municipal parking is available nearby starting Friday at 5:00 PM and throughout the weekend (in some zones). There may also be private or commercial parking spots, but availability is limited – during peak hours, we recommend arriving early or parking on the outskirts and using public transport.
There are many restaurants, cafés, and bakeries in the immediate area of the convention venues. In previous years, food trucks and food stalls were also present around the event buildings.
