When will BICS 2026 take place?

Brooklyn Independent Comics Showcase will return as a 2-day event on Saturday, April 18th and Sunday, April 19th, 2026!

The show will run from 11am through 7pm on both Saturday and Sunday.

Where is BICS? How do I get there?

Brooklyn Independent Comics Showcase takes place in Industry City’s Box Factory in Sunset Park, Brooklyn. You can navigate to St. Mark’s Comics at 51 35th Street and we’ll have volunteers ready to take you next door!

The nearest trains are the D, N, and R at 36th St station. The nearest available buses are the B35, B37, and the B70.

Parking is available on Second Ave, between 36th St and 39th St, but may fill quickly on the day of the event.

How much does it cost to attend BICS?

BICS is free and open to the public for attendees. There is no pre-registration or ticket required to attend BICS and shop!

If you are a creator interested in showcasing your work, you will have to apply for a table and, upon acceptance, pay the tabling fee. Table applications will open on January 5th, 2026.

Is BICS a wheelchair accessible event?

Our new indoor venue is fully wheelchair accessible. Our spaces are on the first floor of Industry City’s Building 8, and there will be ramps available for use in the areas where a handful of steps are required.

If you have accessibility concerns that are not covered here, please reach out to us at bicsbrooklyn@gmail.com.

How do I sign up for a table?

Applications to table at BICS 2026 will open on Monday, January 5th. You can apply to table here.

We usually receive more applications than we have tables, so we encourage you to apply early if you are interested!

What happens if it rains?

BICS is no longer an outdoor event. That means that BICS 2026 is on, rain or shine!

Can I buy a table to sell back issues from my personal collection?

The mission of BICS is to provide a venue for small, independent creators to showcase their comics, zines, illustrations, merch, and so on. Thus, our creator tables are reserved for work of that nature! Any applications from resellers will not be accepted.

I have a question that’s not covered here!
