Houston Celebrity Comic Con returns on Saturday, October 17 and Sunday, October 18, 2026 for a two-day, multi-category pop-culture convention with a packed show floor of artists, vendors, signings, photo ops, panels, and fan communities. Houston Celebrity Comic Con sits at the intersection of comics, pop culture, and the trading-card hobby — its show floor isn't a card-show-first event, but it's one of the best fall weekends in Houston to find vintage comic-card crossover material, vintage Funko Pops, memorabilia, autographs, and the sports and TCG dealers who follow the Texas pop-culture convention circuit.
On the floor, expect a mix that skews comics, collectibles, and pop culture, with a meaningful sports card and TCG presence at the dealer-table sections. Sports tables typically cover MLB, NBA, NFL, NHL, UFC, boxing, and soccer with a mix of vintage and modern — Topps Chrome and Bowman Chrome rookies and prospects, Panini Prizm, Donruss Optic, vintage Topps and Bowman — and the graded-slab cases at the dealer tables run from common modern rookies through vintage HOFer chases. Pokemon, Magic: The Gathering, Yu-Gi-Oh!, One Piece, and Disney Lorcana all have a presence at the TCG tables. Beyond cards, the floor is packed with comic dealers (Silver Age, Bronze Age, modern keys, CGC and CBCS slabs), Funko Pops, action figures, vintage toys, anime merchandise, original art, and artist-alley creators. Celebrity guests are the show's signature draw — photo ops and autograph sessions with TV, film, anime, and pro-wrestling guests run throughout the weekend.
Show hours typically run 10:00 AM to 7:00 PM Saturday and 10:00 AM to 5:00 PM Sunday. Single-day, weekend, and VIP/photo-op packages are sold through Eventeny and the show's social channels; kids 10 and under are typically free with a paying adult. Photo ops and autograph sessions are sold separately on top of show admission — check the guest list and Photo Op schedule on the Eventeny page and the Houston Celebrity Comic Con Facebook (@HOUSTONCELEBRITYCOMICCON) in show week.
The Houston Celebrity Comic Con venue address for the October 2026 edition is published on the organizer's Eventeny listing and Facebook page ahead of show week — confirm before you drive. Past editions have used venues in the Houston metro with free on-site parking and easy freeway access.
Who should attend? Houston Celebrity Comic Con is built for pop-culture fans, comic collectors, autograph hunters, photo-op buyers, cosplayers, families with kids, and collectors who like a multi-category convention floor that's broader than a pure card show. Sports and TCG collectors will find a meaningful but not headline section on the dealer floor — come for the comics, autographs, and pop-culture energy first, and treat any cards you pick up as a bonus.
To get the most out of the weekend, line up photo ops and autograph sessions ahead of time on Eventeny (popular guests sell out fast), arrive early on Saturday for the first crack at signings and panels, and walk the full dealer floor before pulling the trigger on big buys. Bring cash for autograph and dealer transactions (Venmo and Zelle as backups), carry your photo-op tickets printed or saved to your phone, and check Eventeny and the show's Facebook in show week for any guest changes.
