Once upon a time, in a far off and distant plane, there was to be a MagicCon event...

That event is MagicCon: Las Vegas, taking place September 22–24, and everyone is invited! Join us as we step into the world of fairy tales, immerse ourselves in the wilds of Eldraine, and prepare to celebrate like a Gingerbread person who just attacked Garruk with a fork and lived to tell the tale! We are pulling out all the stops for our final 2023 MagicCon and can't wait to see you all at the Las Vegas Convention Center for a weekend filled to the brim with Magic.

This show will have it all—Magic World Championship XXIX, the CommandZone, and a wide variety of ways to play Magic, including a $100,000 Limited Open event! With the Cosplay Contest, Game Knights Live, the Preview Panel, and more taking place on the main stage and The Art of Magic, featured Cosplayers, epic merch, exhibitors, immersive experiences, the Creator Arena, and more to be found on the show floor—this is a weekend you don't want to miss.
