Grab your fanny pack, dust off that windbreaker, and let's kick off CrimeCon 2026 by taking a trip back to the 90s—a totally fly throwback dance party packed with live music, a surprise performer (as if we'd spoil it), retro games, accessory stations, and all the nostalgic vibes you didn’t know you needed. It's the perfect way to meet other attendees, connect with the CrimeCon community and start our CrimeCon 2026 Las Vegas weekend.
Get ready to party like it's 1999. 📼💿

DRESS CODE
There’s no official dress code for the CrimeCon 2026 Kickoff Party—but where’s the fun in that? We highly encourage you to lean all the way into the 90s. Consider this your hall pass to go full throwback, no questions asked. Break out the cargo pants, butterfly clips, scrunchies, flannel (tied around the waist, of course), chokers, bucket hats, frosted tips, and platform sneakers. Come dressed to impress…or just come. Either way, we’ll see you on the dance floor.
