About Animazement 2026
Raleigh's biggest celebration of Japanese pop culture takes over the Raleigh Convention Center for Memorial Day weekend. Three days of anime, manga, J-rock concerts, voice actor panels, cosplay contests, gaming tournaments, artist alley, and a packed dealers' room — plus special guests from Japan and the U.S. Family-friendly, fan-run, and 27 years strong. Whether you're suiting up for the masquerade or just here for the vibes, Animazement is where the Triangle's anime community comes alive.
