Lunacon is an annual science fiction and fantasy convention organized by the New York Science Fiction Society - The Lunarians, Inc. First held in May 1957, it is the oldest science fiction convention in New York state, and is generally held on the third weekend of March. The programming is a typical fannish convention, including panel discussions on a variety of topics, anime, filk music, crafts workshops, an art show and auction, a games room, and a large masquerade. The logo commonly used for Lunacon is actually the logo of the New York Science Fiction Society - the Lunarians, Inc. and was illustrated by Wally Wood. It is the third, and most well known, version of the logo and is affectionately known as "The Loonie." Most years, one of the guest artists creates their own variation on the logo for the convention. In 1983 Lunacon was the first science fiction convention to feature an anime room, which was called the "Starblazers Video Room" and, according to the program book, was run by Michael Pinto, Moya Price, and Robert Fenelon. ==Lunacon 2016== Lunacon 2016,〔(Lunacon 2016 )〕 the 58th annual science fiction and fantasy convention to be held by the Lunarians, at the Hilton Westchester, in the New York City suburb of Rye Brook, New York on March 18–20, 2016.
