The Bourges comic strip festival
BulleBerry is the annual meeting place for comic strip lovers in Bourges. Every autumn, the festival hosts numerous comic strip authors for a weekend of meetings, signings, and exhibitions. Created in 1996, BulleBerry has become a must-attend event for fans of the ninth art in the Centre-Val de Loire region.
BulleBerry has been celebrating comic strips in all their forms since 1996. Every year, at the beginning of October, the festival transforms Bourges into the capital of comics for a weekend. Established authors and emerging talents meet to share their passion with the public in a friendly and festive atmosphere.
The heart of the festival lies in the encounters between the public and comic strip authors. Dozens of authors are present to sign their albums, chat with their readers, and present their latest creations. Signing areas are set up in various locations in the city, allowing for special moments between creators and comic strip fans.
BulleBerry is not limited to signings. The festival also offers thematic exhibitions highlighting specific works or authors. Various activities punctuate the weekend: drawing contests, workshops for children, concerts, and shows. These activities make BulleBerry a family-friendly event accessible to all audiences, from the youngest discovering comics to seasoned collectors.
