English Program

Comicfestival Hamburg returns for its 13th edition from September 27th – 29th, 2019, and a small warm-up program on September 26th. You can find all information on locations and opening hours in the (German language) printed festival guide, as well as on this website. Almost all of our festival events are free admission. For our international guests, we want to point-out, in English, a selection of some important highlights in this year's program:

Comic Fair & Café
The festival's main center and comic fair can be found at Kölibri, GWA St. Pauli. At the comic fair, publishers, art collectives, and universities offer comic books, zines, and prints. Many of the artists will be on site to sign their works. The in-house café serves drinks and baked goods - and provides information about the festival's events.
