Fan Expo Canada (Toronto)

What Is Fan Expo Toronto?

In just ten short years, FAN EXPO Canada has gone from being a small comic book convention to becoming one of North America’s most prominent pop culture events. The show now attracts thousands of people who come not only for the comics and sci-fi but also video games, horror movies or anime series’ merchandising opportunities as well!

What’s better than meeting your favorite celebrities? Meeting all of them in one place! At FAN EXPO Canada, you can meet hundreds and see everyone from William Shatner to Elijah Wood! With events for children ranging from interactive games with starfighters on loan by Disney Studios or dressing up as their favourite character while listening back through episode scripts read aloud; there will be something here that speaks exactly to what fans love about FAN EXPO.

FAN EXPO is the ultimate place for any pop culture fan! With panels and competitions, you can get an autograph or photo with your favourite guest then find out all about movies & TV shows at the celebrity events. Watch professional comic artists battle it out in Sketch Duels where they will create a sketch based on one of their own sketches as well as learn from various “How To” workshops throughout the day – not only that but there’s also shopping galore including unique gifts (or treat yourself!) on show floor too so make sure to stop by this year.
