Comics, animation and gaming are the essence of the CREATE Festival. Our goal is to enthral and inspire children, young people and adults with the world of visual storytelling. The festival first launched in 2017 under the name “Svendborg Graphic”. And even though the name may have changed, the passion that drives the team behind the festival remains the same.

A Festival for Creativity

We are passionate about creating spaces for creativity and immersion. Not least, we are also passionate about getting festival participants to become part of the creative process. This is why the festival is called CREATE. And this is also why we love the great workshops with professional comic artists and creators, animators and games developers.
We also love to introduce our audience to world-class animation and VR worlds, or simply to invite them to a talk or lecture that will broaden their horizons.

Where and when?

Next time you can attend and take part in the CREATE Festival will be from 27 January to 2 February 2025 in the city of Svendborg close to the beautiful South Funen Archipelago. This page will be updated on an ongoing basis but if you would like to be kept up to date about new additions to our festival programme, it would be a good idea to follow us on Facebook or Instagram. We bid you welcome!
