XXIII Barcelona Manga Fair

Barcelona's enormous Manga Fair is back again at the Fira de Montjuïc from November 1 to 5. This year the fair is on for an extra day so the many manga fans in the city won't have to face sold-out signs before the show even starts. The fair completely takes over six 'Palau' areas in the Fira, as well as Plaça Univers, which once again hosts the big covered stage. That stage is exactly where you'll want to be Friday afternoon for the Cosplay ECG, Saturday afternoon for the World Cosplay Summit, and Sunday for Clara Cow's Cosplay Cup and the EuroCosplay. Activities and events are ramped up this year in all areas including the big stage, the various halls, workshops, exhibitions, and play areas, with a continuous programme over the fair's five days.
