SFeraKon is the largest and the longest running science fiction convention in Croatia. Organised by SFera, it takes place in Zagreb every year at the end of April. The first SFeraKon by its own name was held in 1983, continuing the tradition of "science fiction days in Zagreb" after Yukon, the Yugoslav national science fiction convention, started taking place in other towns, the first few having taken place in Zagreb.

In 1986 it hosted a Eurocon, the European Science fiction convention, with Sam Lundwall as a guest of honour. In recent years famous guests of honor have included Robert Silverberg (1999), Lois McMaster Bujold (2002), George R. R. Martin (2003), Ken MacLeod (2004), Michael Swanwick (2006), Bruce Sterling (2007) and Richard Morgan (2008).

Typical attendance is 500-1000 visitors.
