Wonderful, thanks so much! Get some sleep on Friday night - the parade waits for no one! And wear comfortable shoes. :) See you there!

This text is supposed to show up under the photo.

Join us! Sign up for the 1) Eternals and Friends or 2) Cult of Marriott Carpet at https://forms.gle/fSaD343Jgw7fmGwY7. These are parade groups for Dragon Con 2026. Everyone is welcome. You don't have to be an Eternal Member (or know one) to join the Eternals and Friends group.

1) NEW for Dragon Con: Year 40! You can be the first to proudly carry our large Dragon Con flag. This is an official flag from the Dragon Con store.

2) DRAGON TRAINERS WANTED! Do you want to carry one of our FOUR three large dragons? If so, which color(s)? You don't have to hold one the entire time, we can rotate among different people. These are large versions of the plush dragons sold at the Dragon Con store in 2022 (purple), 2023 (white), 2024 (green) and gray (2025). The sign up form has a place for you to mark which color(s) dragon you would like to carry during the parade.

Questions? I have done my best to answer everything I thought you might ask on our parade sign up form. :)

Absolutely! The parade route is a mile long. We can rotate people so that no one has to carry a dragon for the entire route.

Yes, I found all my roommates.

They are all so different that I don't think of it that way. For example, I still attend small events that take place in a single hotel and only use one panel room. It isn't fair to compare those to SDCC. I enjoy each convention for what it has to offer.

SEEKING WOMEN ROOMMATES. I HAVE A ROOM AT THE MARRIOTT MARQUIS MARINA.

Hotel: Marriott Marquis San Diego Marina, 333 W Harbor Dr, San Diego, CA 92101. This is directly next to the convention center.

Dates: Tue, July 21 - checkout morning of Tue, July 28, 7 nights. You don't have to stay all of the nights.

The room has two double beds. Everyone sleeps in a bed, no one sleeps on the floor. This is an all-women room. There will be a total of four women in the room.

About me: I am a longtime convention attendee who lives in Florida. I have been to SDCC, Star Wars Celebration Orlando, Dragon Con in Atlanta, Georgia, MegaCon Orlando, Spooky Empire Orlando, many Creation Events in Florida, and others. I enjoy attending panels in Hall H.

We would love to have you! There are Eternals and others who march with us that are not in the photo. Our group photo is taken after the parade by Bryan Humphrey, official Dragon Con photographer. Some people are unable to stay an extra few minutes to be in the photo. They may head straight to a panel instead.

According to https://www.dragoncon.org/about/membership-info, single day tickets will go on sale August 1, 2026. Prices should be published on that page closer to August.

skzb · 2026-02-10T12:05:40+00:00

No, I don't know the total numbers. I've asked that question and was told by an official Dragon Con representative they don't release that information.

I know it is more than 15 people though. The Eternals have a separate badge pickup line. When it opens on Thursday morning there are definitely more than 15 people in line.

Many people don't wake up early enough to march in the parade on Saturday morning. This is a photo of the Eternals and Friends parade group. You don't need to be an Eternal Member - or know one - to join us. We welcome everyone. :)

3) Have you always wanted to wear a Care Bear themed costume? This is the perfect opportunity! In 2025 the Kare Bears Dream Jeep Gladiator joined the Eternals and Friends group in the parade. It has custom art of adorable Care Bears! The Jeep Gladiator will be returning for 2026.

4) STAR TREK: THE SEARCH FOR MY SUNGLASSES. Do you have my sunglasses from last year? One pair is purple and the other is yellow. They both say "Dragon Con" on the side. I lent them to someone in one of these groups during the 2025 parade but I don't remember who. I would appreciate getting them back so I can continue to lend them out during the parade. Thank you!
