The Bendigo Record Comic and Toy Fair is Bendigo's bi-annual pop-culture extravaganza, attracting over 100 tables of records, comics, toys, retro games, and pop-culture related goodness.

Dealers come from near and far to offer specialist wares and expertise all under the one roof.

The heart of the Fair is the Market, with around 15,000 records, thousands of comics, toys and pop culture goodies to be available on the day.

In addition to the market, there is a cosplay contest, which is a fundraiser for the Peter MacCallum Foundation. Fan-groups from around the region gather to present and share their passions to the general public. These include the Bendigo Whovian Society, Swordcraft, local gaming groups and more. There will be 3 Star Wars groups, 2 Star Trek groups and more present with amazing costumes, character builds and much much more!

Bendigo Bricks will present their Kids Fun-zone, where you can join the kids in playing with bricks and Lego while taking a break from hunting down a bargain, or that long sought-after collecters item.

There will be an auction of original comic art and prints from Australian Artists, with proceeds to go to the Peter MacCallum Foundation for cancer research. 

The Bendigo Record Comic and Toy Fair is host to an Artists Alley, presenting local and Melbourne original Comic Book writers and artists, presenting their original works and signing their comics. This is a great chance to get up close and personal with artists making an impact on the 'Australian Comic Renaissance'
