[:is]The 2nd edition of the StarracoWars Convention returns to the city of Tarragona on December 1 and 2, 2018. The success of the first edition, which was attended by more than 5.000 people, has forced the organizers to continue and improve this leisure and entertainment event.

Among the novelties are: a cosplay contest, graphic artists, two exhibitions, choreographies with lightsabers, children's workshops, gift raffle, retrogaming and many more surprises. The range of international actors and dubbing also expands.

StarracoWars was born with the intention of becoming an annual event. The StarWars Association of the Ebro Lands R2-T4 joins Tangier Works in organizing the event, the non-profit organization StarProps, dedicated to exhibitions and events especially in the StarWars universe.RP Starraco Wars e1543407964646 - Exhibition and Congress Center of Tarragona
