LAVAL, Quebec, March 27, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — After a long post-pandemic hiatus, fantasy fiction and pop culture fans will gather once again on April 26 and 27 for the 2nd edition of Laval Comiccon at L’Enclav de la Place Bell. The celebration of pop culture, sci-fi, horror, anime, gaming in all its forms, and, of course, bande dessinée and comic books will welcome visitors into 25,000 square feet packed with fun for everyone.
Laval Comiccon is first and foremost a collectors’ paradise. With more than 100 retailers and artists present, fans will have a dream opportunity to discover and acquire coveted comics, manga, toys, movies, clothing, original art, and all imaginable forms of fantastic paraphernalia. Those who wish to sharpen their heroic and artistic skills will attend conferences and workshops of all sorts, ask questions, and learn secrets.
The Incredible Hulk himself will be in the house both days. Star guest, LOU FERRIGNO, the legendary bodybuilder who brought to life everyone’s favourite smashing green monster in the hit TV show, will delight attendees with his imposing presence, pose for pictures with those who dare, and sign autographs.
On the programming side, great things will happen on Saturday, April 26. The wonderful OVMF (Orchestre à vents de musiques de films / Wind Film Music Orchestra) will take the crowd on a nostalgic voyage through the great music of Star Wars. Later that same evening, the Masquerade, a wildly entertaining costume contest, will showcase amateur cosplayers in their finest outfits and displaying their fabulous talents. Note that attendees will need an EXPO ticket (weekend or Saturday) to access the Main Events Hall, located at the Courtyard Marriott Montréal Laval (500, rue Lucien-Paiement, Laval, QC H7N 0H6), across the street from l’Enclav.
Some of Canada’s most notorious cosplay groups will roam the grounds. The public will encounter the sinister forces of Darth Vader’s Quebec Imperial Fortress 501st Legion and the heroes and villains of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. As always, fans will be encouraged (but not obliged) to attend the Comiccon dressed as their favourite pop culture characters from movies, TV, video games, and comics.
The public is invited to visit lavalcomiccon.com for program updates and tickets. Entrance to this fantasy wonderland starts at only $10.
