What is Lore Con 2026? Lore Con 2026 is a two-day cultural convention celebrating anime, gaming, comic books, streetwear, and technology at the Durham Convention Center. If you are planning to go, keep in mind that this event is best suited for middle schoolers, teens, and young adults who are passionate about pop culture. Ticket prices are not yet released, but you will want to budget for parking in the nearby Chapel Hill Street or Corcoran Street decks, plus extra spending money for the vendor hall. Wear comfortable walking shoes and bring a reusable water bottle, as convention center concession lines can get long. This event makes a solid weekend outing because it offers a safe, indoor space for your older kids to express their fandoms, dress up in cosplay, and discover local artists and musicians.
