About

SCG CON Los Angeles is Star City Games' premier Magic: The Gathering tournament weekend in California — and one of only two US Regional Championship stops in all of 2026. That makes it one of the highest-stakes competitive MTG events in the country, with a US Regional Championship running across the weekend alongside Last Chance Qualifiers, main event tournaments, and a full vendor hall. What makes SCG CON unique among competitive MTG events is the free admission. You can walk the floor, watch the games, buy and sell singles from the largest MTG retailer on the planet, and soak in the energy of competitive play without paying a badge fee. The competitive events themselves have entry fees, but access to the event space is open. The Los Angeles Convention Center is the right venue for the scale of this event. October 9-11. Whether you are a competitive grinder chasing Regional Championship points, a collector who wants to move cards in person, or just a Magic fan who wants to see what the highest level of play looks like live — this is the LA event on the 2026 calendar.

FanimeCon 2026
May 22 – May 25, 2026 Paid - $75-$120 San Jose Convention Center, 150 W …

FanimeCon is one of the oldest and largest anime conventions in the United States, running every Memorial Day weekend since 1994 at the San Jose Convention Center. It draws 25,000-30,000 attendees over four days and is the flagship event for the West Coast anime community. Unlike larger conventions, FanimeCon is entirely fan-run. No corporate booths dominating the floor. The panels, screenings, and programming are organized by volunteers who have been running this event for decades. That community ownership gives it an atmosphere that is hard to replicate. It feels less like a trade show and more like the largest anime club meetup in California. Programming runs 24 hours across the weekend. The cosplay masquerade on Saturday is a full theatrical production. The gaming hall is one of the best at any convention, running tournaments, free-play consoles, and retro arcades through the night. The dealer room and artist alley are substantial, with indie creators outnumbering corporate licensors. Bay Area, Sacramento, and Central Valley attendees make up the core, but it draws convention-goers from across the West Coast. Four-day badges sell out. Single-day passes may be available at the door. If you have been to Anime Expo but not FanimeCon, the culture is meaningfully different.

Little Tokyo Anime and Culture Night — Los Angeles
In 7 days · May 9 327 E 2nd St, Los Angeles, CA 90012

Little Tokyo in downtown Los Angeles is the oldest Japanese American community in the country, and on weekend evenings it functions as the unofficial gathering point for LA-area anime and Japanese culture fans. The stretch of 1st and 2nd Street between Central and Alameda runs izakayas, ramen shops, Anime Jungle (dedicated anime merchandise), Kinokuniya (Japanese bookstore), and coffee shops where people sit for hours discussing shows. The community events here are not always formally announced — they form around new episode drops, convention previews, and whatever the regulars decide to gather around. Watch parties happen in restaurant back rooms. Group cosplay meetups stage here before heading downtown. The Weller Court plaza hosts informal gatherings on summer evenings that draw people from across LA. If you are looking for the anime community in Los Angeles, this is where it physically lives. First and second Saturday evenings are the densest nights. Kinokuniya closes at 8pm; Daikokuya ramen runs a line until midnight. Free entry to the neighborhood. Metro Gold Line stops at Little Tokyo/Arts District station — no car needed. Parking in the Weller Court lot if you drive.
