RI Comic Con spokesperson Susan Soares shared FAQs for first-timers:

Can I bring a backpack?

Yes! Just be prepared for security to search any bags at the entry.

Can I wear a costume?

Yes, costumes are encouraged. Please keep in mind, this is a family show and anyone wearing anything deemed inappropriate by staff will be asked to change. If you really do it up, also be prepared for a lot of people to ask to take your picture as you traverse the floor.

Is there parking available?

Your options include the Convention Center, Providence Place Mall (take the skybridge to the Omni, then another skybridge to the Convention Center), and area parking garages; fees vary per lot and length of stay.
