When and where is Fort Smith Comic Con?
2025 dates and location coming soon!

​​​

If this is a "Comic Con," where are all the comic book artists and vendors?

We love our indie and corporate comic artists! All of our amazing artists and vendors purchase space to appear at FSCC. We cannot force comic artists or vendors to appear - they have to purchase a table. If you'd like to see a specific comic artist appear, consider sponsoring them! Head to our Guests page for more info.

​

"Comic Cons" have been a catch-all phrase to include anime, gaming, and pop culture for almost 15 years now. The days of a pure comic con -rows and rows of floppies - are not a viable business model, nor have they been for over a decade. Come enjoy a wide variety of pop culture art and merchandise with us!

​

Are masks and proof of vaccination required?

Absolutely not. Read our CDC approved Health & Safety Policy for more information​

​​

Is there a Military Discount?
Active Military and First Responders receive a discount at the door for a day pass with valid ID.

Pre-purchase is not available due to proof of ID

​​

Do I have to stay at the Hotel?

No, but we highly recommend it! Staying at the official hotel allows us to show the Convention Visitor's Bureau what an impact Fort Smith Comic Con makes on the local economy. Please stay at the hotel!

Yes, absolutely! All 18+ events are clearly marked and require ID, most of which are past 9pm

Can I suggest a specific celebrity guest to appear?

If you have a Celebrity Guest you just HAVE to meet at FSCC, email us at Sponsorships@FandomEvents.org to set up payment to bring sponsor guest to the convention. While we appreciate recommendations, we are the largest independent convention company in the United States and are well connected with the entertainment industry - we have a solid grasp on which celebrities are available on our dates, what it costs to bring them, and how well they will do in our markets.  If you are adamant about meeting a specific guest at FSCC, you will need to personally sponsor the appearance.

​

Why isn't _____ (celebrity) appearing?

• There are literally hundreds of talented on-screen and voice actors, cosplayers, and entertainers. We cannot invite all of them every year, yes, even the one that is your absolute favorite. There are many, many factors involved in who can appear, most of which fans are not aware of. Please trust that we took dozens of factors into consideration when choosing the Celebrity guest lineup.
