Comic Cons in Massachusetts

What is coming up in Massachusetts

The next shows in Massachusetts: NorthEast ComicCon (November 27 to 29, Boxborough), Total Confusion 41 (February 18 to 21, 2027, Marlborough), and Anime Boston (April 1 to 3, 2027, Boston).

The big ones, running three days or more at a named venue: NorthEast ComicCon at Boxboro Regency Hotel in Boxborough, Total Confusion 41 at Best Western Royal Plaza in Marlborough, and Anime Boston at Hynes Convention Center in Boston.

By kind, that is 6 pop culture, 1 comic, and 1 anime.

Where the cons are

Boston hosts the most, with 6 listings of the 21 we track in Massachusetts. Marlborough (6), Boxborough (4), Springfield (2), and Milford (1) and others fill in the rest.

In all, 7 cities in Massachusetts have hosted a con on our list, so there is usually one within a drive.

When to go

April and March are the busiest months for cons in Massachusetts; January, July, August, and October have had none on our list.

Shows that come back

We have 3 shows in Massachusetts listed in more than one year, so they are a safe bet to return: WesternMassCon in Springfield, Anime Boston in Boston, and PAX East in Boston.

How this list is made

Searching for a comic con near me from Massachusetts? This page is that list. Every Massachusetts con here was found on the organizer's own website and is re-checked weekly. A show that disappears from its source for three weeks in a row is hidden until it comes back, and the last update date is on the homepage. Dates and tickets always come from the official site, linked on every event page.

Anime Boston started in 2003 and has been held at the Hynes Convention Center and the Sheraton Boston since 2005. It is run by the New England Anime Society, a Massachusetts nonprofit, and drew 25,615 people in 2019. Source
