Cradle-Con returns with comics, cosplay, collectibles, and family activities—all in one place.

The Cradle of Aviation Museum is proud to present an event that is a pure celebration of all things comic book culture. It is an opportunity for comic readers to meet and greet local comic book creators, for collectors on the hunt for rare books and toys to shop with some of the best vendors, for cosplayers to gather and celebrate their favorite fandoms, and for retro gamers to get their game on.

This spectacular yet intimate experience allows fans of all ages to gather, socialize, and share their passion for what they love. It’s also a great day out for families, with activities for kids throughout the event.
