Over 2,000 people of all ages came to celebrate their favourite movies, shows, comic books, anime, and everything else pop culture at the fourth annual Kelowna Fan Xpo Saturday.

The event had activities, vendors, artists, cosplayer and performers in the Rotary Centre for the Arts and the Kelowna Community Theatre.

Last year, the event had 2,378 people attend, and this year, all of the advance tickets were sold out in advance, putting them at over 2,000 people before at-the-door sales were even counted.

Hundreds of people stood in a very colourful lineup outside the Community Theatre just after noon, when the venue first opened up.

“Some of these things, gaming, watching anime, interest in comic books and things like that, are individual pursuits, and it's such an exciting thing when you can talk about a show that you love with another person," said Bonnie Gratz, artistic director at New Vintage Theatre and an organizer of the KFX. “ Where do you get a chance to do that and to find those people? You kind of find your tribe at a thing like this.”

The KFX closes Saturday with a premiere screening of The Recall, a movie filmed in the Okanagan.
