Celebrating the Man of Steel

Each Second Full Weekend in June, the City of Metropolis IL, the "Home of Superman" celebrates their Favorite Son, Superman with this fun and festive celebration!

During the past 30 celebrations the crowds have grown to over 30,000 flocking to the only town in America that is officially known as the "Home of Superman."

The 30th Annual Celebration took place in June, 2008 and Metropolis welcomed thousands of the best Superman Fans in the world to during the 4-day festival.

A highlight of the Celebration was a Guinness World Records attempt to set the record for "The Largest Gathering of People Dressed as Superman". After photos, roster, & videos were examined to make sure all criteria was met, the record was set with a total of 122 Super Men & Women in costume!

Celebrity guests in attendance were Noel Neill, Allison Mack, & Ned Beatty who really pleased the fans with their warm personalities. Comics legend Murphy Anderson made everyone's day when he put on the Superman Costume and took part in the Guinness attempt along with his lovely wife Helen.

The Celebration's "Artist Alley" featured guest artists Lin Workman, Dave Beaty, Micah Stewart, Andrew Chandler, Jay Chuppe, Antone Wade, Janet Wade, Jason Rawley, Kevin Williams, & Muley who wowed the fans with their talents and guest writers Michael Eury, Josh Elder, Marc Tyler Nobleman, Eddy Zeno, & Lonnie Cruse enjoyed meeting with Celebration visitors. A special screening of "Superman: The Movie", preceded by a Christopher Reeve tribute film by Tim Brown of Inked Monkey Productions was a big hit with fans.

Metropolis also stepped back in time with the 1940's Hollywood Ball- which was a tribute to Noel Neill. Fans enjoyed dressing in their finest Hollywood fashion & danced the night away to the Jerry Ford Orchestra.

Fans, guests, vendors, volunteers, & Celebration Staff are all encouraged to attend the 31st Annual Superman Celebration which will take place June 11th through 14th, 2009!
