Kolkata Comic Con 2026 Dates & Venue

Kolkata Comic Con 2026 is scheduled for April 11 and April 12, 2026. The venue is the Biswa Bangla Convention Centre, which hosted the previous edition in the city. The two-day structure follows the standard Comic Con format used in other Indian cities.

The first Kolkata edition drew attendance in the thousands, indicating an existing audience for comics, anime, and related storytelling formats. The event brings together readers, artists, cosplayers, and gaming enthusiasts in one space.

The dates fall over a weekend, making it easier for students and working professionals to attend. April is also a relatively flexible period in many academic calendars, which supports participation. 

Since the dates are announced well in advance, visitors from nearby cities can plan their travel and accommodation.

These dates place Kolkata within the wider Comic Con calendar in India. The city now joins other regular host locations, making it a consistent stop in the national event circuit.
