Festival program

AnimeCon is the longest running anime convention of The Netherlands. Volunteers organise AnimeCon.

AnimeCon.nl is the website for Holland's largest annual anime festival. What does that mean you ask? Well, it's a three-day gathering of fans with a focus on Japanse animation. What it basically comes down to is that you can join a group of people of all ages and enjoy a nice atmosphere in which you can enjoy movies, play video games, and learn about Japan and its culture. Our festival focuses on having fun and learning new things.

Dealer Room

Vendors from all over Europe and beyond present J-POP, anime, manga, and cosplay-related products. Additionally, there is a special Artist Area within the Dealer Room, where artists from both domestic and international backgrounds showcase their work.

Cosplay

AnimeCon is one of the beating hearts of cosplay in the Netherlands. A place where both novice and experienced cosplayers can live their hobby to the fullest.

(Retro) Gaming & Japanese Arcades

Discover our game collection: from multiplayer brawls and mind-bending puzzles to immersive RPGs. Marvel at our console timeline from past to present, and uncover hidden gems in the Indie Game Developers Showcase!

From driving a Japanese train, to going crazy to the beat in various rhythm games, everyone will have something fun to do or discover playing our Japanese Arcades!

Artists & Dance

AnimeCon hosts yearly concerts: we've had Origa, KOTOKO, Back-On, fripSide, Minami, JAM Project TeddyLoid, Myth & Roid on our Dutch stage. Next to that we also have a lot of other artists from Japan or elsewhere on our stage and have yearly late-hour parties hosted by Deshima Sounds and several other J-POP (inspired) DJ's!

Taste Japan

At AnimeCon, you can experience Japanese culture through all five senses, taste included. Visit a maid or butler cafe during the busy festival hours or grab a quick bite to eat. You can also make your own snacks at one of our food workshops. We also have sake and whisky tastings with authentic Japanese drinks.
