Description

The Rebellion is growing in the North!

Three years ago, four Canadian collectors were inspired to create a Star Wars convention in the Toronto area.

They aimed to make May The North Be With You a more intimate and personal Star Wars experience for their fellow collectors.

And since 2022, May The North attendees have had once-in-a-lifetime opportunities to interact with the legends who worked with George Lucas on the films, the Kenner designers of the Star Wars toy line, the leaders at Kenner Canada, and the supercollectors who helped shape our hobby.

May The North has it all: a Friday night dinner with special guests, a panel-filled Saturday with a room sales event in the evening, and a Sunday Star Wars-themed toy show!

But how did May The North come together? What sets it apart from other Star Wars conventions? And what is the team of six Ontario Alliance members doing to make this year’s event the best one yet?

Join host David Quinn for part one of a conversation about the history of May The North with Toby Black and Jimmy Mac MacCallum, two of the collectors behind Canada's “boutique convention.”
