The Superman Celebration is a long standing festival and a must see event for people of all ages, especially comic book lovers. Superman fans travel from all over the globe to visit the small southern Illinois town that is the Official Home of Superman. The real life Metropolis, with a population of 6,500 residents, welcomes approximately 30,000 people over the four-day celebration.

“It’s a chance for people of all ages to come together and just enjoy a weekend of fun,” says Metropolis Tourism Director Angie Shelton. “You never know who you’ll meet…and you never know what you’ll see, the Superman Celebration is a comic con with a small town twist!”

Complete with an Artist’s Alley where artists and writers from the comics can be met for photos or personalized sketches and signatures, Man of Steel exhibitions and contests, amusement park, live music and $1000 Superhero Costume Contest, the Superman Celebration provides fun for the entire family.

The Annual Superman Celebration will take place the second weekend of June each year.
