A 15th Festival on Saint-Denis Street
From May 15 to 17, 2026, the Montreal Comic Arts Festival will set up its tents on Saint-Denis Street, between Gilford and Roy, creating a 1.2 km comic-themed walk filled with activities, exhibitions, and meet-and-greets.
Last year, the MCAF welcomed over 90,000 visitors, hosted 1750 exhibitors, and showcased more than 330 comic artists. The MCAF team presented a bilingual program of over 60 free activities themed Back to Future, held over three days for the general public.

Through a series of articles, we invite you to take a peek behind the scenes of the organization of the next edition of MCAF!
