The popular culture event, which will cover comics, games, TV series, films and more, will take place in Tampere in May.
The globally popular Comic Con event will be held in Finland for the first time. The broadly based popular culture event will be held at the Tampere Messukeskus on 11-12 May.
At Comic Con, visitors can try out activities inspired by the series and films. You can also try out new games, meet famous actors, cartoonists and digital content creators, and see cosplay creations.
According to the organisers, Comic Con events are growing in popularity in the Nordic countries, which is why they also want to organise one in Finland. The event has been held in Stockholm, for example, for ten years now and has attracted more than 30 000 visitors every year.
Comic Con events have a long tradition around the world. The first of them was held in New York in 1964.
Initially, the events focused on cartoons and sci-fi and fantasy-themed films and TV series. Later, Comic Con has expanded to include other popular culture such as anime, manga and video games.
