Anime, Game and Cosplay Festivals
AnimeCon festivals are about more than anime! They are international festivals for fans of anime, cosplay, games, manga and popular culture.

Cosplay is of course a big part of the festival. Come see or take part in one of the Cosplay Competitions that are hosted, take a look at one of the Photocorners or go to a Cosplay Workshop!

Visit the Game Room and join one of our game competitions! Or try the many different games available, both new and classic consoles!

Concerts, live shows and dance events. All this cannot be missed during a festival weekend. Come party at Deshima Sounds or enjoy a live show and dance the night away.

Several Special Guests will be present during the festival weekend. Renowned Cosplayers such as Tenkou and AmenoKitarou and international artists such as TeddyLoid and Myth&Roid, all featured at AnimeCon! Curious who is visiting AnimeCon this year? To be announced soon!

Take a look in our Dealer Room and see the many anime, manga, gaming and cosplay related items for sale!

During AnimeCon there are several events to visit. Think of workshops, lectures, demonstrations, card and board games, karaoke and typical Japanese festival activities such as scooping goldfish!

Come enjoy the authentic taste of Japan while visiting AnimeCon. Get Takoyaki, Okonomiyaki or Taiyaki and more from one of the food stalls, learn to prepare Japanese dishes yourself at one of the Workshops or join a Tasting of, for example, Japanese Sake and Whiskey.
