Sci-Fi on the Rock

until we see you all again at the Sheraton!

Newfoundland's premier sci-fi, fantasy, horror, gaming, anime & pop culture convention!

Every year Sci-Fi on the Rock hosts a convention to celebrate all things Geeky – film, television, comics, books, gaming, cosplay and more. Our first convention was held in 2007 and we’ve grown each year with the support of our amazing fans and community.

So whether you love wizards or monsters, board games or model building, manga or magic, or seeing the latest work from artists, cosplayers and vendors – Sci-Fi on the Rock welcomes you!

You can also hang out with us at events we attend or host throughout the year, outside of the convention weekend. Check out our Facebook page to see what we’re up to!
