Pros
Over 30 artists and authors in the Artist Alley

Over 45 vendors in the vendor room that would sell a wide variety of things that would include toys, comics, 3d printed items, posters, coasters, etc.

The Holland Civic Center was a bigger and better venue compared to my last visit in 2022 at the previous location, the Holland Doubletree.

The artist alley was in a completely visible room, in comparison to being hidden in the old venue.

Everything was in one central location. Depending on your traversal ability, you can reach anything within 5 minutes.

The schedule for events was printed on the back of the badge.

Free Parking

Cons
Some aisles felt smaller than others depending on where you were in the venue. Thus, at times of high traffic, they were congested in both the vendor room and artist alley.

Do I recommend attending the event?
Yes, the Tulip City Comics & Toy Fare is an easy recommendation, especially if you like toys. Depending on the vendor, you will be able to get a glimpse at the toys from the past. There is a lot to see and do.
