WE ARE NOW ADDING ANOTHER BUILDING (a fourth)!
PLUS, a special guest, who wants to attend our convention.

We keep growing thanks to you and to make the lines even shorter, you can enter form either building first. Besides the three venues from last year, we are also adding the large Vernon Curling Rink (next door) to the Rec Centre. Now basically having a Vernon Comic Con Campus, for you to enjoy.
Pay entrance is through the Main Hall (front of rec centre)
OR at the Curling Rink from the back by the outdoor rink .
There will now be Food Trucks outside.
In the Main Hall (rec centre) you will find the majority of our vendors, some special surprises, TCG Championship Tourney, Game Show for prizes and much more. The Curling Rink will host more vendors, a chill space with tables, a massive new photo op replica of a specific film and some activities.

The NEW 2025 Vernon Comic Con keeps growing, thanks to you! We have a NEW FACEBOOK PAGE! We lost access to the old one as someone took my personal site (oh well).
Vernon Comic Con-Official, is the site.
Thank you to our own superheroes at, A&W, Beach-FM, World Health, Millennium Valley Productions & Tourism Vernon!!
The VCC is much, much more than comics. Come join the fun, meet some wonderful collectors, artists, play games, search through a plethora of long boxes for that special comic, find unique collectables, buy/sell/trade cards, view stunning props, costumes, cards, video and board games, take in photo ops, find vintage items and much more. From private collectors and artists to retail outlets bringing out their special items that are hardly seen with many deals. For those that have never been to a collectable show or con, this event has something for everyone and it’s much more than you think. This convention was created for the entire family!
Our Pop Culture Event Gameshow is back! Win Prizes!
DJ Lunchboxx will spin some fun music in the background, stay tuned for more fun ideas that will happen that day.
PS If you would like a photo with a Cosplayer, PLEASE respect them and always Ask for their permission. They would love to showcase their work.
Many get into the spirit and dress up as their favourite characters. We had entire families becoming Superheroes! You have time to start designing your Black Panther, Darth Vader, Harley Quinn, Kitana, Pokémon, Spider-Man, Deadpool, Okami Amaterasu or Trekkie costumes now lol! We look forward to seeing you in our new location. It’s a fun filled day for all of us like minded fans!!
Please share this with all of your groups and friends.
