HiroCon Saarbrücken

HiroCon is an annual convention dedicated to nerd culture, proudly hosted at the E Werk Saarbrücken. It is organized by Next Heroes Events, a creative team based in Saarbrücken that is passionately committed to the wide spectrum of pop culture. In addition to HiroCon, Next Heroes Events also runs several other theme-based events such as the Vegan Fantasy Fair, the RetroCon, and the festive Weihnerdsmarkt.

HiroCon welcomes a broad audience and offers an interactive weekend full of activities, encounters, and colorful diversity. What sets this event apart is its unique concept: it's not just about watching from the sidelines – attendees become part of the action themselves. Through games, contests, challenges, workshops, and open stage slots, participants actively shape the experience and embark on a shared heroic journey.

A standout feature of HiroCon is the spacious Community Area, which serves as a meeting point, a place to relax, and a hub for exchange. The program is further enriched by an entertaining stage lineup and a wide range of merchandise and artist booths, inviting visitors to browse and discover.

The venue, E Werk Saarbrücken, is a former power station with a distinctive charm and industrial atmosphere. Its expansive layout provides ideal conditions for an event like HiroCon, which centers around creativity, connection, and community.

Centrally located in Saarbrücken, the E Werk is easily accessible by car and public transportation. Visitors will find ample parking options in the surrounding area, and thanks to its convenient location, the venue is also well-suited for guests traveling from outside the city.

More than just a typical convention, HiroCon is a vibrant experience space for all those passionate about gaming, anime, cosplay, comics, fantasy, and sci-fi – a place where the community doesn’t just participate, but takes center stage.

On the whole the organisers welcomed on the 2 days of the fair, from 03. October to 04. October 2026, about 3000 visitors on the HiroCon in Saarbrücken.

The HiroCon takes place annually, and therefore for the third time previsibly in October 2027 in Saarbrücken.
