SacAnime Summer 2026 – Sacramento
2026-09-04 17:00 - 2026-09-07 05:00 UTC | SAFE Credit Union Convention Center, Sacramento, CA
SacAnime Summer 2026 runs September 4–6 at the SAFE Credit Union Convention Center in Sacramento, California. One of the most consistently well-organized regional anime conventions on the West Coast, SacAnime has built a reputation for accessible, community-first programming that draws fans from across Northern and Central California — and regularly attracts Southern California con-goers who want a fall convention between Anime Expo in July and the fall circuit in October.

Programming spans three days across multiple convention spaces including the main convention hall, Memorial Auditorium, and the Hyatt Ballroom. Expect guest panels, voice actor signings, cosplay competitions, gaming rooms, a dealer hall, an artist alley, and late-night programming that runs well past midnight. Guest lineups typically include English and Japanese voice actors, animation industry professionals, and cosplay celebrities.

Sacramento is approximately six hours from San Diego and five and a half hours from Los Angeles — a realistic Labor Day weekend road trip for dedicated convention fans. The convention center sits in downtown Sacramento, walkable from hotels along the K Street corridor. For SoCal fans who attend Anime Expo and FanimeCon, SacAnime Summer fills the September gap in the West Coast con calendar and typically offers more accessible crowds and shorter signing lines than the larger cons.
