After more than two years of silence, Eternal Con has officially reappeared. The beloved Long Island comic convention quietly updated its website and social media accounts last week to reveal dates for a 2025 return: July 12–13 at Hofstra University’s David S. Mack Complex in Hempstead.
While fans have been buzzing online and searching for answers, organizers have not yet responded to media inquiries. Still, ticket links are live, vendor sign-ups are open, and the show appears to be moving forward as scheduled.
Eternal Con has long been one of Long Island’s largest pop culture gatherings, drawing fans of comics, cosplay, collectibles, and celebrity appearances since its founding. According to the show’s website, the 2025 event will mark its 12th year. Its last confirmed outing was in 2023.
