The Prairie Comics Festival is an annual two day event featuring a marketplace and panel and workshop programming, geared towards celebrating, supporting, and discovering independent, creator-owned comics, graphic novels, zines, and other sequential art, by artists based in the prairie provinces and beyond. The festival, taking place annually in Winnipeg, Manitoba, also focuses on educating and engaging with the community and attendees to create their own comic works by facilitating monthly seminars about comic making, publishing, and artistic development. The 2025 festival and all related events taking place at the Manitoba Museum are free to attend for the public, and live-streamed to enable full accessibility.
