If you’ve ever wanted to attend wizarding school, Raprager Family Farm in Odessa is making that happen. They’re running WizardFest across multiple weekends starting February 20th at 16907 Boy Scout Rd in Odessa, Florida.

Tickets start at $17.50 for basic admission or $27.50 for Student Wizard Registration that includes a wand and certain classes.
Book lovers, mark your calendars. The 14th annual Coastal Magic Convention is happening February 19-22, 2026 at The Shores Resort & Spa in Daytona Beach Shores, Florida. Weekend registration is $130 and gets you into everything including a welcome bag, access to all panels, Saturday lunch with an author, author-hosted meet and greets, and the book signing that’s open to the public. This isn’t one of those massive conventions where you’re fighting crowds. Coastal Magic is deliberately kept casual, giving authors and readers space to actually get to know each other.
Remember when you had to blow on a game cartridge to make it work? Or when finding that one action figure you wanted meant actually going to the store and hoping they had it in stock? The SWFL Retro Show is happening on Sunday, February 15, 2026 at the Hilton DoubleTree Hotel in Fort Myers, and if any of that sounds familiar, you’re going to love this. More than fifty vendors are bringing vintage video games, classic toys, comic books, vinyl records, and all the stuff you used to beg your parents for. Admission is five bucks, kids get in free, and parking won’t cost you anything.
