Kids Con New England's spring show, a family-friendly comic con and children's book event at the Douglas N. Everett Arena in Concord. The two-day show pairs an artist alley of comic and children's-book creators with workshops, gaming, art and costume contests, magic shows, face painting, storytelling, caricatures, scavenger hunts and character meet-and-greets. Workshops and activities are included with admission. Kids Con runs two events a year — New Hampshire in the spring and South Portland, Maine in the fall — and this is its eleventh year. The venue is on one level with a flat paved entry, free onsite parking, and onsite food concessions; service animals are welcome.
