2–4 October 2026 | Cyprus State Fair, Nicosia
Cyprus Comic Con returns to Nicosia this October for a full weekend dedicated to comics, gaming, cosplay, film, music and pop culture.
Taking place from 2–4 October 2026 at the Cyprus State Fair in Engomi, the event brings together international guests, artists, creators, gamers and fans from Cyprus and abroad, with a packed programme running across multiple halls and outdoor areas.
If you’re planning to be in Nicosia for this year’s Comic Con, here’s a look at what to expect.
A Full Weekend of Pop Culture
This year’s Cyprus Comic Con programme goes well beyond the traditional convention floor.
Visitors can explore Artists’ Alley and the Creative Corridor, meet creators and special guests, take part in gaming and tabletop activities, watch cosplay competitions and discover dedicated areas including the Japan + Korea Zone, Medieval Quarter, Kids & STEM area and the NomNomNomiCon food festival.
There will also be competitive gaming tournaments, live performances, professional wrestling, film screenings and plenty happening outdoors throughout the weekend.
Meet the 2026 Special Guests
A major part of Comic Con is, of course, meeting some of the people behind familiar characters, games and stories.
The 2026 guest programme includes actors, voice actors, artists, cosplayers, musicians and creators from around the world. Among this year’s announced guests are performers connected to Clair Obscur: Expedition 33, as well as actor Jonny Coyne, whose credits include The Mandalorian, The Blacklist and Preacher.
Guest appearances and schedules can change, so visitors should check the official programme closer to the event.
Cosplay, Gaming & More
Cosplay remains a major part of the weekend, with competitions, international cosplay guests and a dedicated Cosplay Village.
Gaming fans will also find tournaments and competitive events throughout the convention, while tabletop games and TCG activities have their own dedicated areas.
With different activities happening simultaneously across the venue, the organisers have also launched an interactive schedule and booth finder so visitors can build their own Comic Con plan before arriving.
Friday Opening Night
This year, the weekend starts on Friday 2 October from 17:00, with an outdoor Opening Night featuring live music, wrestling, street food and a drone show, followed by the official opening ceremony.
The main convention continues throughout Saturday and Sunday, with indoor halls open during the day and outdoor entertainment continuing into the evening.
