We have attended Free Comic Book Day the last couple of years at Fun 4 All. Since Free Comic Book Day usually corresponds to Graduation Weekend, we tend to avoid downtown Ann Arbor.

FestiFools has been an annual tradition in Ann Arbor since 2007. Since FestiFools typically falls during Ann Arbor’s spring break, we haven’t been able to attend in previous years.

They are conveniently located across the street from the parking garage (which was particularly convenient with today’s threatening weather). My husband tried HopCat for the first time earlier this week when he
