The Fandom NYCC Party Recap The popular wiki-hosting site Fandom celebrated its 20th anniversary at the Hard Rock Hotel during New York Comic Con on Friday night. Hundreds of fans, Comic-Con attendees, industry trailblazers, influencers, and talent converged in Times Square as part of Universal Orlando Resort’s partnership to celebrate the opening of Universal Epic Universe, their newest theme park, in 2025. It was one of NYCC’s most electrifying events.
As well as experiencing curated and immersive experiences like an interactive photo booth and scavenger hunt to highlight the five immersive worlds coming to the all-new Universal Epic Universe theme park opening in 2025, guests were treated to an unforgettable night of music and dance (along with some awesome roller skaters), as well as an AR experience and collectible pin from Pinfinity to commemorate Fandom’s 20th anniversary, and arcade games filled with prizes.
The Penguin’s Rhenzy Feliz & Marié Botha, critic Juju Green, influencers Lena Lemon & Gabby Ortega, and actor Marcus Choi were among the featured guests who came to celebrate with Fandom, along with a show-stopping performance delivered by one of TikTok’s biggest influencers, DJ XANDRA, who kept the crowd on the dancefloor, and last but not least, an inflatable 14-foot man surprised the crowd. Fandom’s 20th anniversary marked a significant milestone, highlighting its impact on fan communities worldwide. For fans, it has become a vital hub for connecting, sharing knowledge, and celebrating their favorite franchises. Fandom was recognized not only for its achievements but also for its continued influence in shaping fan culture.
