For comic lovers in Canada, visit the Toronto Comic Arts Festival that takes place in May. This event consists of a week long celebration of comics and graphic novels and their creators. The week wraps up with a two-day festival that includes hundreds of comic creators, readings, interviews, gallery shows, panels, and more.
The Toronto Comic Arts Festival is a great demonstration of the variation of comic types and the value of its art and literature. The festival is not considered a comic convention, but rather a display of comic-related events with focus on the art of comic creation.
This celebration will take place near the university district, a non-tourist part of town, which offers affordable restaurants, shopping, bars, museums, and more fun activities. It will be held on May 5th from 9am-5pm, and May 6th from 11am-5pm. The admission is free and you can expect to see around 15,000 attendees joining in on the weekend show.
If you decide to purchase some items to add to your comic collection, call Navis to pack and ship them for you!
