Comic Con India, the country’s biggest and most-loved pop culture celebration, is set to make its debut in the Northeast with its first-ever Guwahati edition. The event will be held on November 22 and 23, 2025, offering two days of comics, cosplay, anime, gaming, music, and immersive pop culture experiences for fans across the region.

The announcement was made through an official press release on Tuesday, confirming that Guwahati will now join the list of host cities for the 2025-26 season. This new chapter not only brings the Comic Con experience to Assam’s capital but also extends it to pop culture enthusiasts across the entire Northeast, a region long recognised for its creative energy and passionate fandom.

“For us, bringing Comic Con to Guwahati is not just about adding a new city, it is about opening a long overdue chapter for the Northeast,” said Akshat Rathee, Co-founder and MD, NODWIN Gaming. “You see the creative fire here everywhere – in the colours of Bihu dances, the sound of the dhol and pepa, the handwoven elegance of a Mekhela Sador, and in the passion for comics, anime, cosplay, and gaming that fills college fests and community gatherings. Now, for the first time, fans do not need to travel across the country to be seen. Comic Con comes to Guwahati, giving this passionate community a stage at home where their art, effort, and love for the culture can shine brighter than ever.”

Adding to this, Shefali Johnson, CEO of Comic Con India, said, “Our expansion into Guwahati is not just about adding another city, it is about celebrating every fandom and building authentic experiences. With gaming, cosplay, music, and comics at its heart, this season will resonate deeply with the energetic youth culture of the Northeast.”

The decision also comes at a time when Guwahati has been ranked as India’s fastest-growing destination for international travellers, according to Agoda’s New Horizons ranking. By merging global fandoms with local traditions, Comic Con India aims to position Guwahati as a cultural gateway where tradition, creativity, and modern aspirations collide.

Comic Con has long been known as a platform for creative self-expression, inspiring new voices in cosplay, illustration, writing, and storytelling. The Guwahati edition will act as a launchpad for local talent, offering opportunities for artists, illustrators, and gamers to showcase their work, collaborate, and connect with fans. Alongside comics and cosplay, gaming and esports arenas will add an extra layer of excitement, making the festival a vibrant cultural space for the region.

From the beats of Bihu to K-pop playlists, and from silk Mekhela Chadors to anime costumes, the city promises to embody a unique mix of local tradition and global influences.

Tickets for Guwahati Comic Con 2025-26, scheduled for November 22–23, are now live on the District app.
