VENDOR INFORMATION
The Grand Rapids Comic-Con is hosted in the heart of West Michigan, one of the most vibrant and economically sound communities in the Midwest. Combined with one of the most prosperous art scenes in the United States, it is no wonder that US News and World Report listed Grand Rapids as one of the top twenty cities to live in the United States. The 2023 April Spring Fling show at the Kalamazoo Co. Expo Center had 11,000 turnstile. The 2023 November show at DeVos Place had an attendance of 30,000. Attendance numbers can be verified via Ticketmaster.
