Comic Con India has announced the return of Pune Comic Con, scheduled to take place on March 21–22, 2026, at Yash Lawns, Bibvewadi Road. Presented by Maruti Suzuki Arena and powered by Crunchyroll, the Pune edition marks the 13th instalment of Comic Con India’s growing pop-culture calendar. Tickets for the event are available exclusively on District by Zomato.
The two-day convention will spotlight pop-culture fandom through a packed lineup centred on comics, anime, gaming, cosplay and community-led experiences. With its strong student base, young professional population and thriving creative ecosystem, Pune has emerged as a natural hub for fan culture and participatory entertainment.
Organisers say the Pune edition reflects the city’s long-standing relationship with storytelling, art and youth expression. From college campuses and book markets to anime clubs and gaming cafés, Pune’s creative communities have consistently shown high engagement at Comic Con events across the country. The return of the convention aims to strengthen that connection by offering fans a platform to showcase their interests and creativity.
The event will feature immersive fan zones, interactive panel discussions, creator meet-and-greets, cosplay showcases and competitive gaming arenas. Indian comic creators and publishers will also be in attendance, offering fans direct access to voices shaping the country’s graphic storytelling landscape.
Building on the success of previous editions, the Pune Comic Con promises large-scale experiential installations, brand-led activations, live performances and entertainment that blend fandom with festival energy. From gaming experiences and pop-culture exhibits to cosplay and creator interactions, the 2026 Pune edition is positioned as a celebration of creativity, community and shared passion.
With its return to Pune, Comic Con India continues to deepen its footprint across cities where pop culture thrives organically-driven by fans who live, play and express themselves through the worlds they love.
