Free Comic Book Day

Is this an outdoor event?
FCBD is being held both indoors and outdoors this year. Free Comics will have a dedicated line maintained by our dedicated volunteers that leads into the building! Should you wish to purchase anything while snagging your comics, the register will be ready to greet you on your way out.

The Queer Makers Market, Special Guest events, Comic Trivia, and Dance Dance will all be held outside, along orange avenue and in the garden. The street will be blocked off for this event.

Will there be shelter provided from the elements?
The line for free comics will keep along the building on Division St, which is shaded by our lovely awnings. The Makers Market vendors will all have their own tents as well. Due to the unpredictable nature of the weather in Portland, in May, and well. Every other part of the year- the rest is up to you!

What’s the deal with masks?
We will not be requiring masks outside, but we encourage everyone to mask up if they can. Any trips inside of the building will require a mask, including to collect your comics or use the bathroom. We will have masks at the door to provide, but being prepared and bringing your own is the mark of a hero!

Can we Cosplay?
ABSOLUTELY. You can, and absolutely should come visit us in your snazziest costumes!!!

Can I bring my dog?
Yes. Yes. 100x yes. Bring that pupper and get them a treat! All good behaved pups are welcome into BwP all 364 days of the year we’re open.
