CONtraflow 2025

Fandom takes over New Orleans once again! For over a decade, CONtraflow has been the Gulf South's homegrown celebration of all things science fiction, fantasy, gaming, and geek culture. This year, CONtraflow levels up by also hosting the legendary DeepSouthCon 63, the South's legendary gathering of fans that's been going strong for more than six decades. Expect wall-to-wall panels, parties, cosplay, and fan shenanigans with friends old and new. The Guest of Honor is none other than author and activist Cory Doctorow, here to spark big ideas and bold conversations. And when the sun goes down, the music cranks up with Clockwork Elvis shaking up the con and gothic soundscapers One Big Dark Room casting their spell.
