Discover - Meet - Play Heroes presents FACTS Your Belgian Comic Con

02 & 03 November 2024

Flanders Expo Ghent

Escape to a world of movies, series, games
& geeky pop culture

G’day, new citizen of the FACTS Nation! By golly, it sure is nice to meet someone from the Below-World. My name is FRANK-E, the newest ticket-bot in town. FACTS’ Cloud District, that is!

Flux The Tinkerer instructed me to guide you to this magical festival in Flanders Expo, held on November 2-3, 2024, and help you through its many pop culture activities, shows, guests, and Geek Market stalls. Oh just thinking about it makes my wings flap like a jolly fenix post-flames.

Let’s gallivant through these web pages to find you some shiny, spit-polished activities to do, and amazing guests to meet. Then we’ll see which ticket types will be most fit to give you the pop culture experience of your dreams. Or does ‘the ticket choose the fan’, perhaps?

Anywho, you will have a splendid time! Are you ready for a whiff of magic?
