The three-day convention dedicated to all things geek will include panel discussions, cosplay galore, an artists’ alley, vendors, gaming areas and, of course, celebrities. Guest panelists include Walking Dead’s Jeffrey Dean Morgan, Game of Thrones' Lena Headey, and Marvel Comics genius Stan Lee.

You could also travel back in time for the 1940s World War II Era Ball Saturday at the Boulder Airport. This is a chance to dress up in period costumes, dance to classic big band music and check out classic vehicles and planes from the era. It’s also a benefit to raise money for the Wounded Warriors project.
1940s World War II Era Ball, 5 p.m. June 18, 2016, Boulder Airport. $55.
