Games&Co 2026 in Pordenone: comics, cosplay and gaming

Games&Co. is north-eastern Italy's headline gathering for gaming, comics, fantasy and cosplay culture. It takes over Pordenone Fiere, a short hop from the city centre and easy to reach from the main roads of Friuli Venezia Giulia. The 2026 edition grows to more than 12,000 square metres spread across four themed halls. Inside, the commercial floor brings together video games, funko pop figures, trading cards, gadgets and action figures, while the creative side of fan culture gets its own spaces: the Artist Alley, the Fantasy Zone, the Brick Area and a free Retrogaming Zone with over a hundred stations of classic consoles and arcade cabinets. The MINICON, spanning more than 1,500 square metres, hosts tabletop RPG demos coordinated by the Inner Circle Club, and a further 1,200 square metres are set aside for soft-air. The Arena Eventi keeps the programme moving with the COSTRIVE-run cosplay contest, karaoke and guest shows, rounded off by a Japanese food corner and a Shop&Go area. A single ticket also covers entry to Radioamatore 2, the electronics fair, and Fotomercato on the same weekend. The event is produced by Pordenone Fiere, which has staged more than 35 editions of gaming-related shows. The atmosphere is mixed, welcoming both trade visitors and the general public, and it is a practical weekend for anyone looking for accommodation within reach of the exhibition grounds.
