SAN FRANCISCO, July 9, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — FAN EXPO San Francisco, the largest pop culture event in Northern California, will return for its fourth year from November 28 to November 30, 2025, at Moscone Center West. A beloved holiday weekend tradition since 2022, FAN EXPO continues to grow into a can’t-miss event for fans of movies, comics, anime, video games, and iconic fandoms from around the world.

This year’s early guest lineup kicks off with Jared Padalecki, star of Supernatural and Walker, who will attend the festival on Saturday and Sunday and participate in a range of fan experiences, including autograph signings and photo opportunities.

“San Francisco’s close-knit community has made FAN EXPO what it is today, a buzzing weekend filled with connection-building and celebration,” said FAN EXPO HQ Vice President Andrew Moyes. “Every year, the energy grows. It’s been incredible to see this event evolve from a one-off gathering to a real community.”

The three days of programming include celebrity photo ops and autographs, cosplay red carpets and competitions, artist meet-and-greets, live demos, fan panels, and so much more.
