VENDOR INFORMATION
The Grand Rapids Comic-Con is hosted in the heart of West Michigan, one of the most vibrant and economically sound communities in the Midwest. Combined with one of the most prosperous art scenes in the United States, it is no wonder that US News and World Report listed Grand Rapids as one of the top twenty cities to live in the United States. The 2022 April Spring Fling show at the DeltaPlex Arena had 13,000 turnstile/11,000 unique attendance. The 2022 November show at DeVos Place had an attendance of 29,000. Attendance numbers can be verified via Ticketmaster.
