Dancing with the Stars Con 2026 Lands in Palm Springs for First-Ever Fan Convention
DWTS fans get a new way to experience the ballroom craze as 17 pros and 14 former celebs head to Palm Springs for the first DWTS Con, July 31–Aug 2.
Dancing with the Stars is expanding beyond television with its first-ever fan convention, DWTS Con 2026, set to bring the ballroom experience to Palm Springs. The event will run from Friday, July 31 to Sunday, August 2 at Acrisure Arena, and will feature 17 pro dancers and 14 former celebrity contestants. This marks a notable shift for the franchise, prioritizing direct fan engagement and a tangible, in-person connection to the competition that audiences have loved on TV.
The convention is described as a way for fans to experience DWTS in a new format, extending the show’s world beyond the weekly broadcasts. Attendees can expect a range of activities that highlight the show’s dance culture, celebrate favorite pros, and offer behind-the-scenes moments that aren’t part of the televised competition. The lineup highlights a mix of familiar faces and fan-favorites, promising plenty of dance energy and nostalgia for longtime viewers.
The move to create a dedicated DWTS Con comes on the heels of one of the series’ biggest seasons, signaling continued growth and a broader brand strategy. By bringing the ballroom to a dedicated venue in Palm Springs, producers are inviting fans to connect with the magic of DWTS in a more immersive way. As details unfold, organizers are likely to share schedules, guest appearances, and interactive experiences that will make this a standout event for dance enthusiasts and reality TV fans alike.
Fans and prospective attendees will be watching for more information on tickets and exact programming as DWTS Con 2026 approaches, but the core promise is clear: a live, celebratory space where fans can celebrate the show, its dancers, and the dazzling world of ballroom dance in person.
