TCAF, the Toronto Comic Arts Festival, is dedicated to celebrating the diverse world of comics and recognizing them as a legitimate medium of literary and artistic value. Our mission is to showcase the creators and voices behind these works, reaching as wide an audience as possible. Starting in 2003 as a grassroots event organized by passionate volunteers, TCAF has grown into a prestigious festival that attracts thousands of attendees.

We have continuously expanded our offerings, welcoming exhibitors from different countries and hosting a wide range of programs and activities. At TCAF, you can expect an array of engaging events, including panels, workshops, portfolio reviews, and signings with renowned authors, artists, and publishers. Our digital marketplace provides a platform for independent creators to showcase and sell their work.

The festival takes place at the iconic Toronto Reference Library, and we are committed to providing a safe space for all attendees, adhering to the conduct and harassment policy of the library. We prioritize inclusivity and respect within our community. Join us at TCAF to immerse yourself in the vibrant world of comics, engage with talented creators, and discover new works that will captivate your imagination
