Council has approved the Events Department’s agreement to support Comic Con Cape Town in 2024, 2025 and 2026.
Comic Con Cape Town is the mother of all pop culture events, featuring four days of the best in gaming, comics, shopping, cosplay and international celebrities all under one roof.
The new agreement will take effect this year, with the event scheduled during Freedom Day week.
Following the success of its 2023 event, Comic Con Cape Town will add a fifth day this year to accommodate more fans.
Last year, the event provided trading opportunities for approximately 235 businesses in the exhibition and drew 27 484 attendees who spent more than R24 million in Cape Town.
