Attractions
Animethon Music Fes
Animethon’s Music Fes is a one of a kind Japanese music festival during each night of Animethon weekend. Incredible music talents including the likes of ClariS, DEMONDICE, and Myth & Roid perform their greatest hits for Animethon attendees!
AMV Programming
Animethon has some of the most packed AMV programming of any convention in the world. We have nonstop AMV programming in a dedicated room all weekend long. Alongside a massive contest, previously hosted by none other than the legendary Vlad.
Charity Auction
Every year we host an auction with our partner charity, Edmonton Extra Life in support of the Stollery Children’s Hospital Foundation. This is your shot to not only get interesting and limited items donated by our guests and vendors, but to help out with a good cause!
Fan Panels
Animethon is by the fans, for the fans.
The entire weekend is packed with fan hosted panels. From informational panels helping you spot bootlegs, to action packed Mad Libs style battle arc builders. There will surely be tons of content you’ll enjoy!
