The Italian festival runs October 28 to November 1, marking its sixtieth anniversary under the theme Legacy.

Lucca Comics & Games begins its 2026 festival on October 28, opening five days of activity through November 1. The Italian event marks its sixtieth anniversary with the theme Legacy, connecting its history in comics and games with the communities continuing to shape it. The anniversary’s official poster is by Claudio

Castellini. Presented at the Uffizi Gallery in Florence, the original artwork was acquired by Fondazione Banca del Monte for its permanent collection. The organiser says this edition is held under the patronage of the European Commission. For visitors planning a trip, the festival and exhibition windows differ: the

main festival runs October 28–November 1, while the exhibitions began October 3 and also finish November 1. The official site provides separate programme, guest, exhibition and map sections, giving attendees a starting point for checking particular sessions and locations during the anniversary edition.
