Toronto Comicon 2027

Toronto Comicon runs March 19–21, 2027 at Metro Toronto Convention Centre, North Building, Toronto.

What it is

This is a consumer fan convention, not a trade-only show. The organizer describes it as a three-day sci-fi, horror, anime and gaming event, and pitches it to anyone "into comics, sci-fi, horror, anime, gaming, or cosplay." The program is built around celebrity guests: autographs, photo ops and celebrity panels. Around them sit comic-artist Sketch Duels, "How To" workshops, cosplay, gaming booths and a large shopping floor.

Toronto Comicon is produced by FAN EXPO HQ, which also runs FAN EXPO Canada, CALGARY EXPO, EDMONTON EXPO, FAN EXPO Vancouver and a string of US fan events. The site is operated by Informa Connect, a trading division of Informa PLC.

Show hours

• Friday: 10 AM – 7 PM
• Saturday: 10 AM – 7 PM
• Sunday: 10 AM – 5 PM (closes two hours earlier)

At the time of writing, the organizer says 2027 tickets are "on sale soon." The show site's Shop menu lists photo ops and autographs as their own items, separate from tickets.

Exhibiting and Artist Alley

The show floor is split between retailers, corporate exhibitors and an Artist Alley. The Artist Alley is for amateur and professional creators who sell one-of-a-kind artwork and commissions, sculptures, jewelry, pins and buttons. Artist Alley booths come as a standard table space or a larger end-cap space.

A spot is not confirmed until show management approves the application and sends an acceptance email. At the time of writing, Artist Alley was taking a waitlist.
