Chicago TARDIS, the Midwest’s largest Doctor Who event, brings together fans every Thanksgiving weekend to celebrate the world’s longest-running science fiction television show. “By fans, for fans” is the convention model – organized by fans of Doctor Who, for fans of Doctor Who. Chicago TARDIS has dozens of volunteers that work hard to put the convention together each year.
Founded in 2000, the convention has been growing in scope every year, with attendance exploding as the show’s popularity in the United States has blossomed. You can get an overview of the way our event has grown on the Convention History page.
Read on for a quick overview (and some photos) that illustrate what Chicago TARDIS is all about.
The event takes place on Fri, 26 – Sun, 28 Nov 2021 at The Westin Lombard Yorktown Center, Chicago.
