🐧✨ Welcome to Escapade Online 36.5 — The Slash Slumber Party goes virtual! ✨🐧
SAVE THE DATE: Friday, August 7th – Sunday, August 9th, 2026
Pack your blorbos and grab your comfiest pajamas, because we're serving up a full weekend of slashy online fun you won't want to miss — with more of everything you love and none of the travel!
If you're new here: Escapade is a multi-fandom, fan-run convention that's been going strong since 1991. We're an LGBTQ+ and BIPOC-friendly space where fandom is personal. For over 30 years we've been known for having so much fun we got nicknamed the Slash Slumber Party. 💛
Here's the thing that makes Escapade Escapade: you build the con. Panels are suggested by attendees and voted on by attendees — the top picks make the schedule. And if you'd love to see a panel happen but don't want to run it yourself? No problem, we'll find a mod for you.
What's on offer over the weekend: 🎬 The vid show 💬 Panels on every fandom, ship, and topic under the sun 🪩 A dance party 🤝 Meet-ups (including BIPOC member meet-ups) 🎨 Fanworks sharing …and a whole lot of just hanging out and talking about the stuff we love.
Everything happens online via Zoom and Discord, so you can join from wherever you are.
💸 And because we want Escapade to be for everyone — scholarships are available for anyone who'd love to attend but can't swing the cost. Need ADA accommodations? Just let us know and we'll make it happen.
Ready to come hang out with us in August?
