Comic Con Cape Town

Comic Con International - running in conjunction with the Cape Town International Animation Festival (CTIAF) - is a four-day pop culture and gaming festival

The annual event is jam-packed with activities, workshops, competitions, and exciting chances to meet international celebrities. Comic Con's exclusive content provides a space to geek out as a family and connect with like-minded people.

Look forward to activities from massive eSports tournaments and gaming development programmes to cosplay competitions. Get the chance to get celebrity autographs and photo ops or meet international comic creators who are happy to sign collectables and comics.

The Artist Alley is full of talented local and international artists, where attendees can admire artwork, get inspired, exchange techniques, and support by purchasing or commissioning artwork from vendors. The Unplug Yourself area is also open to enjoy some Tabletop games with friends and other enthusiasts.
