Mankato Con: Mankato’s Premier Tabletop Gaming Event
Mankato Con is launching its inaugural year as a celebration of all things tabletop right here in the heart of Southern Minnesota! Join us March 20–22, 2026, at the Mankato Civic Center for three unforgettable days of board games, trading card games, RPGs, miniatures, and more. Whether you’re a seasoned gamer or brand new to the hobby, Mankato Con is your chance to connect, play, and explore the worlds of tabletop gaming.
This first-ever Mankato Con is more than just an event—it’s a cause. Proceeds from the convention will go toward supporting MVAC (Minnesota Valley Action Council), helping make a positive impact in our community.
If you love gaming and want to be part of something new and meaningful, don’t miss the start of Mankato’s newest gaming tradition—Mankato Con!
