This year’s headliners include cast members from the Brady Bunch and Mister Rogers’ Neighborhood in a timeless reunion and a “once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for fans.” Attendees will have the chance to meet the actors who portrayed Greg, Bobby, and Cindy Brady in the iconic family television show.

Organizers say there will also be a wide array of crafters, vendors and cosplayers to check out as well as a cosplay competition.
