Greetings, fandom friends!

Welcome to Gem State Comic Con, Idaho’s premier pop culture and comic convention — a true Idaho tradition and the state’s largest pop culture event.

Whether you’re passionate about comics, movies, TV, video games, anime, cosplay, sci-fi, or fantasy, there’s something for everyone. As a laid-back, non-corporate, locally-run event, we’re created by fans, for fans. Come geek out with us in beautiful Boise.

Come meet celebrity guests, shop from local vendors, chat with artists, cosplay, play games, attend panels, and – most importantly – create memories for years to cherish.

We are here to create unforgettable experience for families and friends, bringing our community together through shared fun and excitement.

We can’t wait to see all our fandom friends again at Gem State Comic Con 2025, happening May 17-18 at Expo Idaho!
