RippleCon, the Richmond Public Library’s annual mini fandom convention, is set to return for its third year on Saturday, June 28, at the Main Library downtown. The free event will run from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. and will include special guests, workshops, gaming, vendors, photo ops and a cosplay contest.

Voice actors Nia Celeste (“Dragon Ball DAIMA,” “Solo Leveling,” “SHY”), Celeste Perez (“Dragon Ball DAIMA,” “No Longer Allowed in Another World,”“Fairy Tail: 100 Years Quest”) and Ben Stegmair (“Kaiju No. 8,” “Solo Leveling,” “The Wrong Way to Use Healing Magic”) will appear for a panel discussion and autograph signing.

Attendees can take part in workshops to design video games with Gamestar Mechanics, paint miniatures, create gaming snacks with Victoria’s Kitchen or build Pokémon terrariums.

More than 35 local vendors, including artists David Hindelang and James Saunders and authors Maxina Storibrook and Pamela K. Kinney, will offer artwork, crafts and memorabilia.

Activities include drop-in Dungeons & Dragons sessions hosted by Goblins and Growlers, casual Super Smash Bros. matches, and craft stations for pixel art, buttons and shrinky dinks.

Photo opportunities will be available with members of the 501st Legion and a greenscreen photo booth. A cosplay contest will award cash prizes in beginner, intermediate and advanced categories, with on-site workshops and makeup tutorials for newcomers.

Parking around the Main Library will be free during RippleCon hours. For more information, visit rvalibrary.org/events/ripplecon.
