About

Cap City Tattoo Festival is a two-day festival held each November at the Delta Hotels Fredericton on Woodstock Road, with a trade-only Industry Day on the Friday before the public days open. Founded in 2025, it is one of the newer shows on the Atlantic Canada calendar. The 2025 edition listed 60 artists.

The format is broader than a standard convention floor: a large walk-up tattoo section, a market of more than 25 vendors, live music, gallery workshops and a pin-up show. For a working artist that mix means walk-up volume rather than a pre-booked schedule, and the trade-only day is worth planning around if supplier contact matters to you. Ticket pricing is not published on the official site; the 2025 edition sold through Tickettailor.
