About Capital City Comic Con
Mid-Michigan's Premier Pop Culture Convention — Born in Lansing, Built for Everyone.
Where It All Started
Capital City Comic Con started with a simple idea: Lansing deserved its own convention. A place where fans of comics, collectibles, cosplay, gaming, anime, sci-fi, and everything in between could come together, geek out, and feel at home.
What began in a high school gym has grown into one of Michigan's premier summer pop culture events, now held annually at the Lansing Center in Downtown Lansing. Over the years we've hosted tons of special guests, hundreds of exhibitor booths, and thousands of attendees who keep coming back because C4 feels different — because it's built by fans, for fans.
C4 2026 runs July 10–12 at The Lansing Center, 333 E. Michigan Ave., Lansing, MI. Come find your people.
Comics & Collectibles
Over 200 curated exhibitor booths fill our hall each year — comics, art, collectibles, apparel, imports, and more. We hand-select our vendors to make sure you can find what you're looking for, whether it's a key issue, a rare figure, or something you didn't know you needed until you saw it.
Creators &
Guests
From comic book legends to screen celebrities to anime voice actors, C4 brings real talent to Lansing. Our juried Artist Alley connects fans directly with creators across every genre — superhero, sci-fi, manga, fantasy, horror, romance, kids, and the wonderfully weird.
Community
C4 has always been about more than the show floor. Each year we partner with local clubs, charities, and organizations — and donate a portion of exhibitor space to causes that matter. We're proud supporters of literacy, children's health, veterans' causes, and arts education in Greater Lansing.
The C4 Art Scholarship
Since 2016, Capital City Comic Con has awarded the
C4 Art Scholarship exclusively to current Michigan State University students to encourage the study of comic art. One scholarship is awarded annually based on artistic merit as determined by a juried panel.
Giving Back to Greater Lansing
Over the years C4 has partnered with and supported organizations including Michigan Assistive Technology Program, Capital Area Literacy Coalition, Small Talk Children’s Advocacy Center , Children's Miracle Network, the League of Enchantment, Saving Scales Reptile Rescue, and many more.
