The Complex is delighted to announce that Dublin Comic Arts Festival (DCAF) has chosen The Complex as their new venue for 2025. The first of 4 events will take place on Sunday, April 6th from 11am-5pm, marking a new chapter for DCAF in the heart of the city. Admission is free.
With the expanded space at The Complex, DCAF is returning to a single-day format, bringing together 100 exhibitors in one day. This will be the first time since 2019 that all exhibitors will be featured on the same day, offering a streamlined experience for both vendors and attendees.
DCAF previously took place at Richmond Barracks from 2022-2024 and is now relocating to The Complex, providing a central location for its events. Whether a long-time attendee or new to the festival, this will be an opportunity to explore Ireland’s indie comics scene in a fresh setting.
