PEZ Conventions are where it is at! Fun! PEZ! Camaraderie!
Imagine yourself rubbing shoulders with hundreds, if not over a thousand, PEZ collectors. Everywhere you look there are PEZ dispensers for sale. Feel the adenoline rush as your hear your last bingo number being called in a MEGA bingo game for a spectacular dispenser that you thought you'd *never* own. Going to seminars and learning the answers to every PEZZY question you had. Spending time with your best buddies or making new friends and hanging out discussing your collecting obsession. Spending three days and nights without more than 6 hours of total sleep... just because you didn't want to miss any of the excitement. Imagine having the time of your life and never wanting to leave.
*That* is what it is like when you attend a PEZ convention!
All of this PEZZY fun and friendship happens every year at one of the conventions outlined below. Now go and pick your PEZZY destination for this year and stop imagining and start living the PEZZY dream!
Note: The conventions are listed in the order in which they occur during the year. |

Minnesota's Annual PEZ Convention is held in early August in Minneapolis, MN. MN PEZcon is dedicated to putting together the best PEZ convention experience you will have this year. The entire event is organized and run with the PEZ collector and dealer in mind. We do not host the convention to make lots of money. We do it because we enjoy putting the convention together and we are having a blast.

We'll keep you busy with a PEZ swap party, Friday morning activities, a scavenger hunt for prizes, a close up contest for prizes, Friday night buffet if you choose, a costume contest for cash prizes, bingo, the Saturday show and auctions. WIN more FREE stuff! Get together with PEZHeads you have known for years and finally put faces to those you have only known by email. Take time to talk to the dealers and make new acquaintances.
