The annual family friendly sci-fi festival, KAPOW, is back for 2026. Bigger and better than ever, experience KAPOW like you never have before.

Get ready to meet iconic characters from across the realms of sci-fi and fantasy including Dolly the Dilophosaurus!

Sci-fi fans of all ages will also be able to enjoy an exciting variety of activities and workshops, and our quiet area will be available throughout the day to relax away from the bustle of the event. The quiet area is an inclusive environment for all attendees to use if they wish.

KAPOW in partnership with Who-Ray! is made possible thanks to our sponsors Hinson Security Services and Stockton BID.

KAPOW arrives at Stockton Globe on Saturday 4th July 2026- you don’t want to miss this fun filled day!
