Dragon Con 2021

Dragon Con 2021 ran from September 2, 2021 to September 6, 2021 in Atlanta. This edition returned in person with vaccine-or-test and mask rules and attendance around 42,000, showing how quickly Dragon Con was scaling from a regional fan gathering into a major downtown pop-culture convention.

The 2021 convention marked Dragon Con's in-person return under COVID-era health rules, giving that year a notably smaller but still significant footprint compared with the pre-pandemic peak.
