The Decatur Comic Con 3 is set to take over the Decatur Civic Center this weekend, April 11th and 12th, bringing a full slate of pop culture, creativity, and community engagement to the area.
Organizers with Midwest Toy & Comic Fest say the event is designed to bring people together in a positive and productive way, encouraging creativity while building meaningful connections. Through partnerships with local groups and a focus on giving back, the event aims to support and strengthen the surrounding community.

Now in its third year, Decatur Comic Con continues to grow, with this year’s event featuring a lineup of well-known guests from across the pop culture world. Attendees will have the chance to meet Sergeant Slaughter, The Godfather, Selwyn Ward, Tracy Lynn Cruz, Patricia Patts, Paul E. Niemeyer, and Isaak Wells.

In addition to celebrity appearances, the event will feature more than 100 vendors, panel discussions, a costume contest, and participation from local organizations, offering an interactive experience for all ages.

Show hours run from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. both days, with admission set at 10 dollars per person. Sunday will serve as Family Day, with free admission for children 12 and under when accompanied by an adult.

Organizers say the event is open to collectors, comic fans, and anyone looking for a fun and engaging weekend celebrating fandom, creativity, and community spirit.
