Calgary Comic & Entertainment Expo Information

The Calgary Comic & Entertainment Expo (AKA: Calgary Expo) is a four-day pop-culture convention held annually in Calgary, Alberta each April. Established in 2006, it has consistently grown in attendance, exhibition and guest list size to welcome over 103,000 attendees in 2016! Attendees can shop hundreds of vendors and exhibitors, check out panels and workshops, meet their favorite stars and creators, and celebrate what makes them geeky with thousands of other fans in cosplay. Calgary Expo has become a homegrown success story, and a cultural phenomenon in Western Canada. The buzz and energy of Calgary Expo reverberates throughout the city. Each year, Downtown Calgary partners with Calgary Expo to present the POW! Parade of Wonders, a public cosplay parade and official opening ceremonies led by Parade Marshall Mayor Naheed Nenshi featuring thousands of costumed fans and Calgary Expo special guests on the streets of beautiful downtown Calgary. After the POW! Parade, fans head to the Calgary Stampede Park to celebrate the first day of the four-day Calgary Expo. The Calgary Expo is only outreached by super-events like the Calgary Stampede and the Global Petroleum Show.
