About the Event
Chattanooga Comic Con is a two-day, all-ages celebration of comics, animation, gaming, cosplay and pop-culture. It brings together fans, creators, celebrities, gaming rooms, vendors and interactive experiences all under one roof in downtown Chattanooga.Â
Â
For vendors, the show is positioned as a lively, fan-focused convention atmosphere: high traffic, engaged attendees, and many opportunities for direct sales, artist signings, and exposure to new fans.
Â
Why this is a great opportunity for you
The downtown Chattanooga location means easy access for attendees and vendor shipping, lodging and logistics. Parking and nearby hotels are well-handled.Â
The focus on all-ages fans means broad appeal: families, teens, young adults, cosplayers, gamers; all of whom are potential customers.
The show’s mix of guests, gaming, cosplay and vendor hall provides multiple draw factors for attendees, which means more foot-traffic through the vendor hall.
Â
What to expect for 2026
Dates: November 7 (Saturday) & November 8 (Sunday), 2026.
Location: Chattanooga Convention Center, downtown Chattanooga, TN.
Hours: Vendor hall opens at 10 a.m.-6 p.m. Saturday and 11 a.m.- 5 p.m. on Sunday
Vendor registration opens ahead of the event; we’ll send more details on booth layout, setup time, load-in/load-out, vendor rules and pricing as we finalize plans.
The show stays committed to keeping admission affordable and accessible, which helps bring in more fans and more booth traffic.

Reminders & Tips for Vendors
Â
All vendor applications are reviewed by our executive team to ensure product offerings align with the overall event experience. If an application is waitlisted, it is often due to multiple vendors offering the same or similar items, allowing us to avoid oversaturation within a single sales category.
Â
NEW! Vendors will have the option to purchase electricity for their booth. Please note that purchasing electricity on site may result in a higher cost.
Â
Additional vendor badges may be purchased at check-in for $20 or added during the application process.
Â
For approved applications, payment will be processed immediately upon approval. Please ensure the credit or debit card on file is valid and available at the time of approval.
Â
No payments will be processed unless your application has been approved.
Â
Additional Notes
- Booth fees are non-refundable once payment has been processed.
- Booth sharing, reselling, or subleasing space is not permitted without prior approval.
- All displays must remain within the assigned booth space.
- Vendors must remain set up for the full duration of the event unless otherwise approved.
- All vendors are expected to comply with Chattanooga Comic Con’s vendor policies and code of conduct.
