For the first time ever, the City of Vineland hosted the Garden State Comic Fest. This event took place at the city's new convention center from November 15-16, 2025. Hundreds of fans of comic books, movies, TV shows, artists, and more, were in attendance. Special guests included Kevin Clash, who voiced Elmo from Sesame Street for 27 years, and Steve Whitmire, known for being The Muppets' Kermit the Frog, for decades. We interviewed several attendees to get their thoughts about what took place at the comic fest.
