St. Pete Comic Con is a two-day convention that features comics, anime, pop culture, makeup/SFX and cosplay.
The nerd event — which includes comic artists, voice actors, an iconic toy designer, and a roster of Florida’s top cosplayers — is the first weekend in January at the Coliseum in historic downtown St. Petersburg.
St. Pete Comic Con is presented by Florida Comic Cons, a news media website that covers conventions and cosplayers throughout The Sunshine State.
Florida Comic Cons provides the Con Calendar, a curated calendar of upcoming comic, anime, science fiction, horror and pop culture conventions.
St. Pete Comic Con welcomes folks of all races, ethnicities, ages, abilities and orientations – though in costume any of this may be difficult to identify. We embrace all humans! But in full transparency we like the weird ones better (makes us feel at home).
