On November 23, hunters, angels, demons, and die-hard Supernatural fans from far and wide gathered at the Bud Rock Cafe in Kempton to celebrate what would become a legendary first—The First Annual Supernatural Convention.
From the moment the gates opened, the atmosphere was electric. Fans dressed as their favorite characters, from Castiel to Dean, poured into the venue, ready to immerse themselves in a world of lore, mystery, and fandom. It wasn’t just an event—it was a family reunion for Supernatural enthusiasts.
The Vibes: Welcome to the Family
This is exactly why the convention was created—for fans like us! The dedication and passion were palpable, with moments like Andrea, a true legend, packing her boyfriend into the car and driving all the way from the Free State to be part of the event. Moments like these reminded us all why the Supernatural fandom is more than just a community—it’s family.
Event Highlights
🔥 Roadhouse-Style Bar
Step into a space reminiscent of the iconic Roadhouse from the series. Fans swapped theories, shared their favorite show moments, and bonded over specially curated drinks like Slayer Bombs. It wasn’t just a bar—it was a sanctuary for stories.

The vendor area buzzed with activity as fans explored exclusive Supernatural-inspired merchandise. From handcrafted items to collectibles, the market featured one-of-a-kind finds, perfect for every type of fan.
