Comics & Caffeine Fest 2026: Indie Comics Festival in Brooklyn
Indie comics + caffeine collide! A free indie comics event with creators, coffee, and cozy vibes in Bushwick, Brooklyn
Discover amazing indie comics while sipping your favorite brew at the 2nd Annual Comics & Caffeine Fest!
After an incredibly fun first year, we’re bringing the fest back to the artsy and welcoming Caffeine Underground in Bushwick—and this year it’s shaping up to be even more fantastic! Comics & Caffeine Fest is a cozy, community-driven gathering that brings together independent comic creators for a day of comics, conversation, drawing, music, and caffeine-fueled creativity.
Whether you’re a longtime comics fan or just curious about the indie scene, you’ll find unique stories, zines, and artwork straight from the creators themselves. Feeling inspired? Jump into the Draw Jam! Paper and drawing tools will be available, and you’re always welcome to bring your own supplies.
Grab a coffee or tea, enjoy the café’s great lunch options, meet passionate artists, and hang out all day in a space built for creativity and connection.
