30th International Comics Festival in Contern
Grand-Duché de Luxembourg
July 20-21, 2024
The International Comics Festival in Contern will celebrate its 30th anniversary in 2024 and we are very proud as an organizing committee to be able to help organize this celebration. For 2024, we will therefore not only offer you the Festival as you like it, but we will do everything we can to celebrate as it should be. We already have several ideas in the works!
Like every year, the Festival will highlight around fifty international and Luxembourgish authors, speaking French, German, English or Luxembourgish. And of course, there will once again be retailers to serve you that rare gem, entertainment to spend good times with friends or family.
The Municipality of Contern and all its employees, its local associations, its organizing committee and its partners, and all the volunteers will do everything possible to make this 30th edition once again a great success.
See you soon !

Introduction…
About the Festival
What to do at the comic festival? Who is our target public?
Comic book fans? You will be spoilt for choice with over fifty authors representing Belgian, French, Luxembourgish, German, and British comics. With a wide selection of American comics, Franco-Belgian youth comics, fantasy comics, manga, and many more, there will be something for all tastes and ages. You will not only have the opportunity to meet your favourite artists, but also discover new ones and ask them for a signing.
You may also take a stroll through the streets of the village (which will be closed to traffic) or go bargain hunting for that missing tome in your collection at resellers’ booths.
Families looking for a convivial moment?
Throughout the weekend, we offer a programme full of activities for children, such as creative workshops, outdoor activities as well as a bouncy castle with the effigy of our Luxembourgish comic hero Superjhemp. Thanks to the Kidspass, children can collect stamps from various stands and thus discover the world of comics. There will also be street performers whose shows you can admire. Have a look at our photo gallery to get a feel for the festive atmosphere of our Festival!
All our activities are free!
And for everyone …
Contern Comic Festival is not only a comic festival, but also the perfect opportunity to meet your friends and relax over a drink while listening to our street musicians. Our local clubs and associations will provide the catering and help our visitors to feel at home.
