TCAF Cancels its May 2020 Comics Event Due to COVID-19 Concerns

Toronto Comics Arts Festival

The Toronto Comics Arts Festival (TCAF) has announced that it will be canceling its 2020 convention due to the COVID-19 pandemic. It was to take place on May 8-10.

After feedback from partners, sponsors, venues, health care officials, and the community, TCAF thought it’d be best to cancel. Restrictions on travel, events, and no end in sight all lead to the decision. While other conventions are postponing the uncertainty of it all and current restrictions made that difficult.

Exhibitors will receive refunds for their tables. They are also putting together a plan to help promote exhibitors and help promote creators in general.
