Shreveport is preparing for the return of the region’s most anticipated pop culture festival this August. Geek’d Con 2026 is officially locked in for August 14th through the 16th…marking 11 years of bringing major entertainment to Downtown Shreveport.
As the largest fan-centric gathering in North Louisiana, the three-day event provides a professional atmosphere for meeting celebrities and securing high-quality photo ops. With a massive vendor floor and an unmatched community vibe, it continues to be the ultimate summer destination for the Ark-La-Tex.
Scream Queen Royalty Coming To Shreveport
Horror fans have a new reason to celebrate as legendary scream queen Felissa Rose is officially heading to Shreveport for Geek’d Con. The event continues to expand its celebrity roster by bringing iconic pop culture figures to the region.
Organizers have confirmed that the renowned actress will be featured at the upcoming gathering. Attendees will have the opportunity to meet the woman behind one of the most notorious villains in slasher film history.
The Legacy Of Sleepaway Camp
In 1983, the horror genre was forever changed with the release of the cult classic slasher film Sleepaway Camp. Rose made her film debut delivering an unforgettable performance as the shy camper Angela Baker.
The movie developed a massive following over the years and is widely known for featuring one of the most shocking twist endings in cinematic history. Her terrifying final scene remains a defining moment for horror enthusiasts…a cinematic reveal that is still heavily discussed by genre fans today.
Even though she has done a ton of other horror movies, none of them have come close to the impact that Sleepaway Camp has had. That doesn’t mean there’s not a movie in the future that could challenge it…but it’s going to be tough.
What To Expect At Geek’d Con 2026
The convention is scheduled to take place in Shreveport, bringing together enthusiasts from across the region to celebrate their favorite fandoms. Rose joins a growing roster of celebrity guests slated to appear during the weekend festivities.
Fans of 1980s horror and slasher films will find this appearance particularly notable. More announcements regarding the guest lineup and event schedules are expected to drop in the coming weeks. Vendor booths are available now at ShreveportGeeks.com
