Cosplayers display their characters at Steel City Con on Aug. 10, 2019 in Monroeville.

Maybe the third time will be the charm for the Steel City Con.

The pop culture convention, originally scheduled for December, had been rescheduled for April. But now it’s been postponed again, this time until June 11-13 at the Monroeville Convention Center.

Organizers cited the state’s current indoor capacity of 15% as not feasible for the safety of vendors, staff, celebrities and fans.

“We did not take this difficult decision lightly knowing that our vendors as small businesses are struggling to survive through this unprecedented situation,” organizers wrote in a Facebook post.

Ticketholders can find more details on changes at Steel City Con’s website.

Guests who had been scheduled for Steel City Con include Loretta Swit and Jamie Farr of “M*A*S*H,” Jon Bernthal of “The Punisher” and Robert Englund of “Nightmare on Elm Street.”

Organizers also said they plan to hold their other previously scheduled shows on Aug. 13-15 and Dec. 10-12.
