A Brief History…
Founded by Tim Deery and Anthony Moretta, FerryCon is the Dobbs Ferry Public Library’s annual Comic Con-style flagship event for all ages. It takes place one Saturday every fall (formerly spring) and is entirely free, though in 2025 we began asking for a suggested donation of $10/family at the door to help raise funds for future programming. 2019 saw the inauguration of the event, which brought over 400 participants to our library for fun-filled activities including artists alley, classes, panels, and contests that revolved around comic books, graphic novels, super heroes, and more. We missed 2020 because of the COVID pandemic, but returned for a virtual edition in 2021 before re-launching the in-person event in 2022. Every year, the event is bigger and better, showcasing local artists and vendors in our one-of-a-kind celebration of all things fandom.
