The Principality of Monaco is gearing up to host its inaugural Comic Con from November 15 to 17 at the Grimaldi Forum, promising to bring a taste of the world-famous pop culture festival to the heart of Europe…

This exciting event marks the beginning of what organizers hope will be an annual celebration of all things geek, with a full-scale, four-day Comic Con already planned for 2025.

Comic Cons are known worldwide for their electrifying blend of comics, movies, TV shows, games, and cosplay. Originating in San Diego in 1970, Comic Con has become a global phenomenon, drawing hundreds of thousands of fans to major cities like New York, London, and Tokyo. Attendees dress as their favourite characters, browse through rare collectibles, and meet the stars behind iconic roles.

The Monaco Comic Con will follow this tradition, bringing together a dynamic lineup of celebrity guests, film screenings, panel discussions, and exclusive merchandise. Fans can look forward to appearances from stars of popular series and films such as Star Wars, Outlander, Walking Dead, Marvel Avengers, and more. Musical guests, including the pop group The Plain White T’s, are set to add to the festivities, with performances throughout the event.

Cédric Biscay, one of the organisers of the event, emphasised the unique appeal of hosting Comic Con in Monaco. “This is a perfect opportunity to introduce the thrill of Comic Con to Monaco, a place known for its luxury and iconic events. We aim to create a multi-generational experience that fans will remember for years.”

Collectors can also expect to see rare comics, toys, games, and exclusive movie memorabilia, including watches featured in iconic films like James Bond. With hundreds of exhibitors and competitions ranging from cosplay to video gaming, the Monaco Comic Con is set to become a new highlight in the Principality’s event calendar.
