ObscuraCon

Description

ObscuraCon is a new two-day convention coming to Eureka Springs that explores the strange, the mysterious, and the unexplained. Taking place July 24–25, 2026 at the Inn of the Ozarks Convention Center, this immersive event brings together researchers, storytellers, investigators, and curious minds from across the country to examine phenomena that exist on the edges of conventional understanding.

Attendees can experience keynote talks and panel discussions from leading voices in the fields of UFOs and UAP, paranormal research, cryptozoology, folklore, and parapsychology. The weekend also features hands-on workshops, a curated vendor hall filled with artists, authors, and purveyors of the unusual, and special evening events—including the lively First Contact Ball with music, drinks, and a costume contest.

Set in the historic and famously haunted town of Eureka Springs, ObscuraCon blends serious inquiry with open-minded exploration, offering a one-of-a-kind gathering for anyone fascinated by the unknown. Whether you’re a lifelong investigator of the paranormal or simply curious about the mysteries that lie beyond everyday explanations, ObscuraCon invites you to explore the unexplained in one of the most atmospheric destinations in the Ozarks.
