About Novegro Comic Festival

Three times a year, the Novegro Exhibition Park, on the outskirts of Milan, transforms into the capital of nerd culture. The Comic Festival fills the pavilions with stands, artist alley, retrogaming, manga, anime, and thousands of cosplayers. With over 200 exhibitors across more than 20,000 square meters, it is one of the most anticipated events for comic and pop culture enthusiasts in Lombardy, attracting tens of thousands of visitors from all over Northern Italy each edition.

A Weekend in the Heart of 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.

What You'll Find at the Fair

The festival is a true 360-degree immersion into pop culture. Among the pavilions, you'll find:

  • Publisher and comic book store stands, featuring new releases, rare volumes, and collectible items;
  • the Artist Alley, where artists and illustrators meet fans and create live drawings;
  • the retrogaming area and video game tournaments;
  • a space dedicated to cosplay, with parades and contests awarding the most elaborate costumes;
  • activities from the Milan School of Comics, with workshops and demonstrations.

Guests and Meetings

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.

Why It's Worth It

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.
