About the Brussels Comic Strip Festival
Since its inauguration in 2010 by visit.brussels, the Brussels Comic Strip Festival has come a long way. Each year the Comics Festival welcomes nearly 100,000 visitors and more than 250 comics artists.
This year, the Comic Strip Festival will once again set up shop in Brussels Park on September 13, 14 and 15, 2019. For the first time in its history, the fair will open earlier on Friday, at 10am, and offer a special program for school groups. Beyond these few novelties, the public can expect to admire the classic giant balloon parade and they can look forward to a program filled to the brim with talks, screenings, signings, drawing session, workshops and many more activities suitable for all.
