With exclusive vendor perks and a loyal fanbase that keeps growing every year, St. Pete Comic Con is quickly becoming one of Florida’s most beloved comic conventions. As we gear up for our 5th anniversary on February 28 – March 1, we’re going all out—with a star-studded guest lineup and vendor-focused benefits designed to make your weekend not only successful and stress-free, but also fun! Booth prices are affordable with artist booths starting at $225 (plus tax/processing) and retailer booths at $325 (plus tax/processing).
And booths are selling fast! In addition, once you vend with us, you become part of our Preferred Vendor network—giving you access to exclusive early bird specials and first choice of booth location at ALL of our events.
Here’s a snapshot of why you should secure your booth now, before we’re sold-out — and read on to learn more about each below.
Our Fandom Shopping Rewards program was a major success this year, incentivizing attendees to spend more and get an amazing bargain. Here is how it works: Attendees who spend $50 with our vendors earn a free single-day pass to Anime St. Pete 2026 (another event we run), while those who spend $75 with vendors receive a free weekend pass. This is a great way to engage with shoppers as they browse, encouraging them to spend more to earn more Anime St. Pete 2026 tickets.
And for St. Pete Comic Con 2026 we’re adding an improvement– we’re introducing a streamlined attendee scorecard, making it easier for fans to track their purchases and for vendors to redeem rewards with no paper receipts required.

Every vendor gets a Con Map Profile, a dedicated space on our event website where you can showcase your business with photos, videos, and social media links. Our Con Map gets a ton of traffic from attendees planning their shopping route—especially since it’s located alongside the event schedule that fans visit frequently before and during the con.

You’ll also receive customizable social media graphics and reel templates designed to help you promote your booth with ease—and style. Just drop in your logo and product images, post to your socials, and tag us. We’ll share it with our followers— putting your booth and merch in front of our fans, giving you extra exposure before the doors even open.

Fans who are excited to meet our guests are also eager to find related merch—and Guest-Merch Connections directs them to your booth in a few ways after seeing their favorite characters come to life.
First, the shopping guide will be searchable by character, allowing attendees to see the vendors who are offering guest-related merch and art.
Second, we’ll provide you with customizable social media graphics and reels themed around guest characters and shows, so you can highlight any merchandise you carry that’s connected to our lineup. For example, if you sell Zelda-inspired art or accessories, you can use our Revali-themed template (character voiced by guest Sean Chiplock) to show off your items and attract fans of the franchise.
Third, there will be signage near the voice actors, comic artists, and other guests reminding attendees that merch related to their fav guests is available from vendors, which they can locate using the shopping guide.

In honor of our 5th birthday, we’ve already booked six major guests for St. Pete Comic Con 2026, including top-tier voice actors who portray major characters from hit franchises like One Piece, Jojo’s Bizarre Adventure, The Legend of Zelda, Genshin Impact, Re:Zero, Teen Titans, Gotham Knights, X-Men, Dangonropa, Mortal Kombat, the Fate series, and many more. And we’re in the process of booking more guests, including comic artists.
In addition, we’re also beyond thrilled to bring back Garrett Sander, the legendary creator of Monster High, which continues to inspire fans across three generations.
While formal guest announcements won’t begin until early bird ticket sales launch in a couple of months, all confirmed guests are already listed on our website for vendors to preview. We book early for a reason: securing big-name guests in advance gives us more time to promote them, build fan excitement, and maximize foot traffic to your booth.

Vendors are also featured in our Online Shopping Guide, where you categorize your merchandise to help attendees find you faster—and to help you sell more! Listing your merch and art by category allows shoppers to plan their haul around you. Categories include things like fan art, collectibles, handmade goods, apparel, accessories, and more. Also, the SPCC Shopping Guide is used for the Guest-Merch Connections, too.
