Rules of the festival

We are thrilled that all superheroes can once again gather in one place! To ensure an enjoyable festival experience, the Comic Con Baltics team has established a few rules that we must all follow to guarantee everyone’s safety and comfort. We appreciate your cooperation in making Comic Con Baltics and Baltics Gaming Expo a place where everyone can enjoy great moments!

Visitors have the opportunity to try the latest and already legendary video games and play them alongside popular influencers at the Baltics Gaming Expo.

The festival also features the traditional Cosplay competition with participants from around the world, Artist Alley, which brings together hundreds of artists, and the Comic Con Baltics K-Pop Dance Contest.
