Comic Book Festival 2026
Cork County Council Library & Arts Service is delighted to announce the return of our annual Comic Book Festival, taking place from Tuesday 27th October to Saturday 31st October 2026.
Join us as we celebrate the creativity, imagination and impact of comic books, graphic novels and manga.
Taking place during the mid-term break, this festival offers the perfect opportunity for children and families to enjoy a week of fun, creativity and storytelling. A variety of exciting comic drawing workshops and events will be hosted in library branches across the county, with activities suitable for children aged 7 years and over.
For further information, please contact your local library branch. All events are FREE, but places are limited, so advance booking is essential.
Contact details for all our library branches can be found in our Library Directory.
We look forward to welcoming young comic fans, aspiring artists and manga enthusiasts to this year's festival!
