We’re just days away from the largest comics, sci-fi, horror, anime, and gaming event in Canada, Fan Expo. The annual event brings hundreds of thousands of people to Toronto for a multi-day experience surrounded by pop culture fans and surprise guests. Besides spending a weekend with like-minded people, many fans will also get the chance to meet some of their favourite celebrities. And this year, there are some heavy hitters.

What started as a small comic book convention has transformed into a multi-faceted event with visitors from around the world. It’s all going down this weekend, Aug. 21 to 24, 2025, at the Metro Toronto Convention Centre.
