The big nerd weekend in Milan, featuring comics, cosplay, and pop culture
The Comic Festival is one of the regular events on the Lombardy nerd calendar. It takes place at the Novegro Exhibition Park, in the municipality of Segrate, in the Province of Milan, just a few minutes from Linate airport. Several times a year – with the Winter, Spring, and Summer editions – the fair occupies the large pavilions A, B, C, and D and the extensive outdoor area, for a total of over 20,000 square meters of stands and events.
The festival is a true 360-degree immersion into pop culture. Among the pavilions, you'll find:
Each edition brings guests from the world of comics, voice acting, and animation to Novegro, with conferences, autograph sessions, and meet & greet opportunities. Among the protagonists of recent editions were historical anime voice actors and artists highly followed by the public.
Convenient to reach and managed by an experienced exhibition structure, the Comic Festival is perfect for those who want to spend a day filled with shopping, meetings, and entertainment. Over the years, it has become a reference point for the pop scene in Milan and its surroundings, frequented by families, collectors, and enthusiasts of all ages.
