Catania’s Le Ciminiere becomes a pop‑culture universe during Etna Comics, the International Festival of Comics, Games & Pop Culture. From May 30 to June 2, 2025, this four‑day gathering transforms the city into a vibrant fusion of fandom, creativity, and community spirit.
With over 100,000 guests expected, Etna Comics sprawls across three zones: the main convention halls, the city-center “AsianWave” area in Piazza Giovanni XXIII, and exhibition spaces at the Palazzo della Cultura. Comics creators, gamers, cosplayers, artists, and musicians converge in themed spaces and panel talks that pulse with enthusiasm. 
From cosplay parades and gaming zones to special guest appearances and family-friendly stages, the festival offers immersive experiences for all ages.
Etna Comics is more than a convention—it’s Catania’s pop‑culture epicenter, where imagination meets performance, art, and local pride.
