In 2019, the Capital City Comic Con drew in more than 9,500 visitors over three days, a number that Downtown Victoria Business Association (DVBA) executive director Jeff Bray thinks will rise.
“We’re always excited for this event, it’s growing every year,” Bray said, adding that he is a Star Trek fan and that he’s happy about the announcement. “We’re hitting our stride and are now able to start signing up our talent this early. It’s going to be great, and it’s going to be bigger and better than ever.”
