Considered to be amongst the premier comic arts festivals in the world, TCAF is an annual two day festival in downtown Toronto. Held since 2003, TCAF is unique for its scale and scope welcoming 28,000+ local and international visitors and over 315+ artists, and its continued focus on independent arts culture and accessibility remaining a free public and non-commercial arts and cultural festival.

TCAF 2025 will be held from June 7-8, 2025 at our new location Toronto Metropolitan University's Mattamy Athletic Centre, with additional programming in the surrounding neighbourhood. Libraries and Education Day is scheduled for Friday June 6.

TCAF guests & programming will be announced in March 2025.

My first time at Heroes Con! I’ve heard so much about this show and how great it is for artists - can’t wait to experience it firsthand.

HEROES CONVENTION was founded in 1982 by Shelton Drum, owner of Charlotte's Heroes Aren't Hard To Find comics shop. Since then the convention has become famous for its comics-first and family-friendly atmosphere, where fans can mingle directly with professionals and exhibitors. Boasting an incredible guest list built mainly on reputation and goodwill, HeroesCon is known nationwide as a "must" on the summer schedule, drawing fans, exhibitors, and creators from every region of the country to the Charlotte Convention Center.
