The HeroFestival, an event dedicated to fictional heroes, will make its grand return for its 12th edition on November 7th and 8th at Parc Chanot in Marseille, offering a wide range of activities and meet-and-greets.

A partner of the municipality for 2 years as part of the organization of the « Allauch Gaming Festival », the HeroFestival Marseille has been offering since 2014 a weekend event centered around the theme of heroes from all fictional universes: comic books, cinema, TV series, manga, comics, video games, cosplay…
This new edition invites visitors to explore 30,000m² of exhibition space and experience a unique event in a festive atmosphere. Attendees can enjoy Onigiri, pose with Totoro, challenge a Jedi or compete on Mario Kart, dive into their favorite films and series with movie sets, and dance to their favorite K-Pop sounds while singing with Belle and Chandelier.
Over 100 artists will be present throughout the weekend to share their passions: actors, singers, cosplayers, authors, illustrators, content creators, and dancers!
Two international stars will cross the Atlantic to meet the Provençal audience: Holly Marie Combs, the unforgettable Piper Halliwell from « Charmed », and Alison Sudol (Queenie Goldstein) accompanied by Dan Fogler (Jacob Kowalski) from the « Fantastic Beasts » saga.
The event will also feature 120 shops and creators, over 100 free activities, all spread across two days.
