Superheroes, anime characters and more will assemble at the local library this weekend.

The Terrebonne Parish Public Library Main Branch is calling earth's mightiest heroes and villains to one location Saturday and Sunday for the Terrebonne Comic Con. This is the sixth year for the event, and the first since the COVID-19 pandemic. About 1,000 people attended the last one, and with this being the first year to hold the event for two days, organizers expect even more.

The Terrebonne Parish Library Main Branch is holding a comic-con for the 6th time it it's history. This will be the first time it is a two day event, September 16, and 17.

Saturday the event will be from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., and Sunday it will be from 2 to 6 p.m.

The event will include 40 vendors selling comic related items and comic books, as well as two food trucks. The library is hosting a costume contest, comic book swapping and an anime-styled dance group.

"We have buttons that we made, and it has Superman and Batman on it," she said. "All the vendors, since we are nonprofit, they come in, and we don't charge them space to do it. They get to keep all their profits."

The costume contest will be at 3 p.m. Sunday, and winners will be announced at 4:30 p.m. The winner of the contest will receive a trophy.

There will be artists, cosplayers and costume makers teaching their craft from 2 to 4:30 p.m. Saturday.
