Friday, September 12th

On Friday, September 12, the Force grows even stronger. Attendees with a Convention Ticket or Sponsor Ticket are invited to an exclusive after-hours event at 43 Hanna Avenue — the legendary original site of Kenner Canada and Irwin Toy.

For the first time ever, collectors will step inside the building where Canada’s vintage Star Wars figures first came to life.
Mingle with former Kenner and Kenner Canada employees, explore ultra-rare exhibits, and raise a glass with fellow fans as untold stories are shared and unforgettable memories are made!

This isn’t just a night out — it’s a journey back to the origins of Canadian Star Wars magic.
