Niagara Falls Comic Con (NFCC) is an annual comic convention and fandom event held in Niagara Falls, Ontario, Canada.

History

edit

Niagara Falls Comic Con was founded by current Niagara Falls City Counsellor, Chris Dabrowski.[1][2] The inaugural convention took place in 2011 at a local Dave & Buster’s in the city.[3] The following year brought in additional guests and a noticeable jump in ticket sales, prompting event organizers to relocate to the Niagara Falls Convention Centre where it continues to take place yearly in June.[3] The most recent attendance estimate came after the 2024 edition, which attracted between 25,000 and 30,000 people.[4]

Attractions

edit

In addition to typical attractions of fandom conventions, Niagara Falls Comic Con includes the following:

NFCC Holiday Edition: In 2025, NFCC created an additional event in December: a one-day, holiday-inspired Comic Con that included celebrity guests from movies such as Home Alone and A Christmas Story.[9]
