NASHVILLE, TN — As Music City continues to solidify its reputation as a booming hub for national media, entertainment, and immersive fan activations, Nashville will welcome the inaugural Meet Cute Con from November 6–8, 2026. Bringing the warmth, romance, and community of small-town television off the screen and into real life, the event will take over two iconic local spots: the Loveless Barn and Virgin Hotels Nashville.

Designed as an elevated alternative to standard comic conventions, Meet Cute Con’s Small Town Swoon debut brings together the stars and passionate fanbases of TV’s most beloved feel-good dramas. Highlighted by the first-ever public reunion of the Virgin River cast, the star-studded lineup features Alexandra Breckenridge, Martin Henderson, Benjamin Hollingsworth, Zibby Allen, and Colin Lawrence. Joining them are One Tree Hill favorites Bethany Joy Lenz (who will be signing her new book, The Betrayal of Cora Wexford) and Jana Kramer, alongside The Way Home stars Chyler Leigh and Evan Williams. Additional talent announcements to come.

“Over the last seven years, I’ve watched the Virgin River community grow into something much bigger than any of us expected,” said Benjamin Hollingsworth. “Fans haven’t just connected with the show; they’ve become part of it. For me, what’s really special about this opportunity is the reimagining of the fan convention experience. I love that Meet Cute Con is thoughtfully shaping a whole event around the community that makes shows like ours special. I mean, we’re all basically gonna be part of the same small town for a weekend, how cool is that?! I can’t wait!”

“What excites me most about Meet Cute Con is that it will be the first time the Virgin River cast has come together for a public event,” said Zibby Allen. “After all these seasons of being part of this fictional little town, we’ve never actually done that. I’m looking forward to all of us—cast and fans alike—finally being in the same space, sharing time together, and celebrating this beloved small town we’re all a part of.”

Inspired by the comfort, humor, and romance of the shows fans return to season after season, Meet Cute Con brings a fresh, elevated fan event to Middle Tennessee’s vibrant event landscape.
