What’s Happening at FanimeCon!

Get ready to flex those fingers and show your skills at FanimeCon’s eGaming area. You will have a multitude of titles to choose from, such as Overwatch, Smash Bros, and Just Dance. Whether you are a button masher or a c-c-combo breaker, a console connoisseur or a PC pro, there is a game for you waiting to be played! There will be both free play as well as scheduled tournament events available for sign up. All tournament sign-ups will be on site only.

We are also happy to announce that for the second year in a row the arcade games will be free to play for all FanimeCon attendees! That’s right, you can once again save those quarters to buy yourself something nice in the Dealer’s Hall or Artist Alley while still being able to get your Dance Dance Revolution on!

eGaming is within SJCC Hall 3 and is open 24 hours starting at 6:00 pm on Thursday through 2:00 pm Monday.

In honor of our 25 years young convention, we are debuting an entirely new venue for your enjoyment: Silver Island! A mature destination for 18+ individuals who wish to partake in a more adult palate, we will be hosting a variety of video content, a Night Market, late night adult gaming, and food trucks to whet your appetite at the DoubleTree hotel. We are also proud to announce that Silver Island will be hosting the return of one of our hugely popular events: The Casino!

We are also proud to announce that our festivities include many Guests of Honor, who are joining us from around the globe! Our guests represent all aspects of the anime industry and fan community, from character designers and directors to voice actors and cosplayers! In addition, this year MusicFest will showcase three bands at the Civic Center Auditorium: THE BEAT GARDEN, Phoenix Ash, and Lex & the Con Artists!

Interested in indulging your favorite events of years past? Fret not, we still have you covered with our FanimeCon Game Show, Black & White Ball, Masquerade, speed dating, cosplay gatherings, arcade gaming, and more waiting for you at FanimeCon 2019!
