Stay Tuned on our socials, for all the exciting news as we get closer to May 2nd, 2026.
A&W presents the area's largest pop culture convention. Which is part Disneyland, part collectable pickers show, part cosplay event, part artist/designer forum, collectors heaven and part 'OMG, I LOVED that when I was a kid'... convention!
Event runs from 10am (with an extra hour now) until 6pm. STAY TUNED FOR UPDATES AND EVENT/GUEST INFO. We will be dropping each event's info, late winter early spring.
Vernon Comic Con began in 2018, and it has been a wonderful gathering of like-minded friends, who arrive in Vernon from all over! It's about everything Fandom! Movies, TV shows, Gaming, Comics, Cards Toys, Collectables and so, so much more!!
As you know, The Vernon Comic Con is always on the first Saturday in May, which celebrates Free Comic Day (which will be offered as supplies last), thanks to Ebenezer's!
Even though we keep growing thanks to you, last year's lines went through very quickly as we are now into two buildings. You can enter from either building first. We also added 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 the recreational center) OR at the curling rink from the back.
If you get hungry, there will be food trucks outside and snack vendors inside.
In the Main Hall you will find vendors, some special surprises, TCG Trading Room (in dogwood gym), a game show for prizes, DJ Lunchboxx and much, much more. The Curling Rink will host more vendors, a massive new photo op are (w/ film props), and some activities.
Full access in the Main Hall, Halina Centre, Curling Rink and Dogwood Gym, is $10 per person (children under 12 yrs old are free... thanks to TOURISM VERNON)!
NOTE: We are working on some special surprises!! STAY TUNED!!
The Dogwood Gym, inside the main rec centre, will host TCG and board games. Plus, trading card times. We will also have a stage in one of our rooms, for cosplay action, guests and much more. On our main stage, there will be guest speakers and our cosplay showcase. Email us @VernonComicCon@shaw.ca if you want to participate in the showcase.
*Most vendors will have debit/credit machines, yet feel free to have cash on hand to help things move efficiently at the entrance.
The 501st Legion will be in attendance for photos for all Star Wars fans. All of the photo donations go to NOYFSS. Working on new special 501 guests. The Okanagan Ghostbusters will be on site, to help out the Hospital. PLUS... Stay Tuned!

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. 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 to come!
P.S. 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've had entire families becoming Superheroes! You have time to start designing your Luke Skywalker, Harley Quinn, Kitana, Pokémon Ball, Peacemaker, Green Lantern, Supergirl, Spider-Man, Deadpool, Okami Amaterasu, Trekkie costumes etc now! We look forward to seeing you again. It’s a fun filled day, for all of us like minded fans!!
