Cyprus Comic Con’s Very First Opening Ceremony

For the very first time Cyprus Comic Con will kick off with an opening ceremony on the evening of Friday 4th October 2024. Free for all to attend you can expect a night of live music, food, drink, cheer and para para dancing turtle ninjas as well as a very, very special surprise!

 

Thinking of cosplaying? Just opened a brand new Bananaman-themed widget emporium? Do you scribble and wibble artistically? Maybe you play them power chords better than the next mulleted human being? Or perhaps you’re the very first human being in Cyprus (well… second or tenth) who fancies themselves as the next great Korean food forger (please… we need bibimbap and kimchi pancakes at the food court this year). SIGN UP FOR A BOOTH OR LET US KNOW YOU EXIST NOW!

Now for a little existential meandering moment… it’s all time and space. By signing up you’re asking for time and space at CCC. If you get a booth it’s all about time AND space… if you’re performing it’s mostly about time and the space is shared. :’) But one thing is certain – both are in limited supply and signups have sneakily been open since January so you should probably hurry and fill in the form.

Cyprus Comic Con returns larger than ever with all of the usual features and activities and more;

  • Artist Alley [more seats for artists – *support local*]
  • Creative Corridor [bazaar got an upgrade plus more seats – *support even more local*]
  • Special Guests [loooooooaaaaads of them]
  • Limit Break Gaming [w o a h ]
  • Mediterranean Cosplay Championship [le 2nd – get crafting]
  • CCC Cosplay Masquerade [strike a pose]

  • Live Stage Music & Entertainment [power chords everywhere]
  • Food & Drink Outdoor Festival [more seats, more nom noms]
