As a lifelong fan of pop culture, one of the most exciting things to see at East Coast Comic Expo is youth involvement. The next generation of fans, artists, collectors, and creators is already here and they’re bringing real energy to the Moncton pop culture scene.

We stopped to chat with several vendors at the Moncton Coliseum this weekend, and one young creator stood out. This was his first vendor table, supported by his mother, and he recorded his thoughts for us in both French and English. A perfect reminder that this is a proudly bilingual province and a growing community for comics, games, art, and collectibles.

En tant que passionné de culture pop, c’est inspirant de voir les jeunes s’impliquer à l’East Coast Comic Expo. La prochaine génération de fans, d’artistes, de collectionneurs et de créateurs est déjà présente et apporte une belle énergie à la scène culturelle de Moncton.

Nous avons parlé avec plusieurs vendeurs à l’ECCE et un jeune créateur s’est démarqué. C’était sa première table de vendeur, soutenu par sa mère, et il a enregistré ses commentaires en français et en anglais. Un rappel parfait que cette province est fièrement bilingue et que la communauté des bandes dessinées, jeux, art et objets de collection continue de grandir.

One of the most noticeable areas of growth since the early days of East Coast Comic Expo is the vendor floor. If you’re a fan of anything, someone here has exactly what you’re looking for.

Vendors fill the Moncton Coliseum this weekend with comics, games, videos, novelties of every variety, custom pieces, limited editions, and mass‑print pop culture. If you want it, they have it.

Come on down today to explore their tables and meet some artists and writers along the way. Many creators are on site for signings too, so don’t forget your Sharpies.

The 2026 East Coast Comic Expo is buzzing and behind all the excitement are the volunteers who make it happen. We spoke with a couple of them today about why they return year after year and what this community means to them.

Their work is a big part of what keeps ECCE running strong.

The 2026 East Coast Comic Expo is in full gear and the energy is unreal. Between the cosplay, the creators, and the wall‑to‑wall fandom, we managed to grab a moment with someone we’ve been fans of for years, Wordburglar.

He’s holding down his booth all day with everything a collector or hip‑hop head could want: comics, CDs, cassettes, vinyl (top‑tier pressings), tees. His merch game is dialed in.

Wordburglar also performing tonight, warming up the crowd before the evening’s live pro wrestling event.

Stay tuned for more coverage from East Coast Comic Expo.

Now’s your chance to jump in on the fun. Panels, vendors, artists, creators, and a full day of events.

We sat down with Mike Campbell to dig into the Halifax Urban Folk Festival 2026 lineup, a full week of incredible artists from across Canada and beyond.

Mike has been shaping the East Coast music scene for decades. From his MuchEast days on MuchMusic to the founding The Carleton, and building the Halifax Urban Folk Festival into one of the country’s most respected songwriter‑focused events, his impact is impossible to overstate.

In this episode, we get into this year’s artists, the participating venues across the city, the All Star Band nights, and why HUFF continues to stand out after 17 years of celebrating songwriters and storytelling.
