Cherry Capital Comic Con 2025
C4 is Northern Michigan’s largest comic book and pop entertainment expo. Located at the scenic Grand Traverse Resort, C4 is Northern Michigan’s perfect gathering of comic book creators, exhibitors, and fans. Cherry Capital Comic Con (C4) is a comic book convention that celebrates the medium of comics, rather than a specific genre. At C4, all comics are equal, as are their creators and their fans. The organizers of C4 intend to prove to the world that comic conventions – just like comic fans and the comics, themselves – don’t have to be “this” or “that”. They can just be what they are…which is simply “cool”. Connect with your favorite creators at a variety of panels. Meet up and coming talent in Artist’s Alley. Find great deals on comics and collectable merchandise at our gathering of exhibitors. Participate in our costume contest, with categories for both adults and children.

Blood Bash 2025
Blood Bash is coming back for our 8th iteration of our international horror film festival and convention on Friday, February 7th (Film Festival Bonus Night) and Saturday, February 8th (MAIN convention day) in 2025!!!!
What is Blood Bash?? Well, it’s a celebration of horror like you’ve never experienced before!!! Here are just SOME of the highlights of the show:
VENDOR ROOM – The true bread and butter of any convention, our Vendor Room is chock-full of over 50 tables of horror vendors selling anything from movie posters to fake heads to taxidermized real ducklings that are dressed up as Beetlejuice…yes…it was a thing.
FILM FESTIVAL – If the bread and butter of this festival is the vendor room, then the steak and eggs is the FILM FESTIVAL portion of this show. Each year we get over a THOUSAND entries into our festival, and we narrow it down to an elite 42-50 movies each year. Those movies (all shorts) will play during the weekend, with the semi-finalists playing on Friday night, and the Finalists playing on Saturday. These films are trying to win “Best In Show,” “Favorite Actor,” and “Favorite Actress” awards, voted on our Blood Bash judging panel and our VIP ticket purchasers!
COSPLAY CONTEST – Guys and gals alike can dress in their Saturday best and participate in our cosplay contest! Winners receive a trophy, a champion’s badge, some swag, and a place on the MeggaXP Wall of Fame!!!!
SCREAM QUEEN CONTEST – Our favorite event of the weekend – – guys and gals can both give it their best scream to try and take home top prize during our scream queen contest! But don’t blow it all on the first try, at Blood Bash, the top THREE screamers have to scream AGAIN in the finals! Can anyone dethrone BACK TO BACK champion Bethany M????
LIVE ACTION HORROR GAME SHOWS – Whether it’s Family Feud, Jeopardy, Horror Trivia Live, or any other show we come up with – audiences can participate or watch a variety of horror themed game shows!
HORROR THEMED CARNIVAL GAMES AND VIDEO GAMES – Take your turn tossing severed baby heads into a clown named Bilbi’s mouth. Toss some rings over bottles filled with blood. Throw darts or shoot nerf guns at horror icons. There are a lot of carnival games to be had at the Bash, and the best part – THEY’RE ALL FREE!!! Oh, and there are also horror themed video game challenges as well!!!
ADULT DRINK SPECIALS WITH A HORROR TWIST – – – The bar is open and we serve our usual horror themed cocktails – the Bruce Juice, the Monkey Shines Cocktail, etc.
BLOOD BASH AFTER-DARK FEATURING TATTERED & TORN (DETROIT’S SLIPKNOT TRIBUTE BAND) LIVE IN CONCERT – The return of the Blood Bash after-party is at hand and it is FULLY loaded with awesome stuff to do, but most importantly, you can see Tattered & Torn in concert, as they are one of the best Slipknot tribute bands you’ll ever see! This event will run from 7:30 PM – 11:00 PM!
MORE SURPRISES – BB24 was our biggest and best show yet, and because of that, we are more than likely going to add in a few extra surprises!
