In a flurry of colourful costumes, epic demonstrations and insightful discussions, the first-ever Mack PopCon has come and gone.

The unique pop culture event brought celebrities, special guests, unique collectables and exciting photo opportunities to the Mackay Showgrounds last Saturday and pop culture fans turned out in force to immerse themselves in other worlds.

Celebrity guests, including The Matrix and Star Wars actor Matt Doran and graphic novelist Shaun Keenan, took to the stage to discuss all things pop culture while Sons of Obi-Wan and Mercenaries of Western Europe put on demonstrations and lessons throughout the day.
