Italy is celebrating two major events that comic, game and pop culture lovers have been waiting for. The first festival is Lucca Comics & Games, one of the largest pop culture fairs in the world, which will be held from 30 October to 3 November in the historic city of Lucca. Every year, the event is a magnet for thousands of visitors, offering a unique experience with the city’s beautiful atmosphere and the view of old buildings as a backdrop. Not only comics and games are showcased, but also cosplay, competitions, and various other interactive activities that engage visitors from all walks of life.
This year, Lucca Comics & Games will carry a variety of interesting themes spanning pop culture, art and technology, from classic comics to digital games and board games. Here, visitors can not only enjoy the latest works from renowned creators and writers but also try out popular games. The opportunity to interact directly with the creators is one of the main attractions, creating a vibrant festival atmosphere and making Lucca a meeting place for fans from all over the world.
At the end of November, Milan will also host Milan Games Week & Cartoomics from 22 to 24 November 2024. The event is a perfect combination of the gaming industry and comic culture, providing an interactive experience steeped in modern technology. At Milan Games Week & Cartoomics, visitors will find demos of the latest games, comic booths from various genres, cosplay and eSports tournaments.
