We Touch Grass: Anime Rave Convention After Party — San Diego

Today · Jul 25 – Jul 26 Spin Night Club, 2028 Hancock St, …

We Touch Grass brings the anime rave to San Diego during Comic-Con weekend. Spin Night Club becomes the room where the convention crowd goes to let the cosplay breathe and the bass hit different. Touch Grass Entertainment has been running anime raves across the country, building a circuit where the soundtrack is J-pop remixes, anime OSTs turned club bangers, and the energy of a crowd that spent all day at panels and needs the night to match. This is the after-party the anime community shares in group chats before the official schedule drops. Saturday night of SDCC week. 9 PM until late. Spin Night Club, 2028 Hancock St, San Diego, CA 92110.

Comic Tron - Comic Con After Party

Today · Jul 25 – Jul 26 1337 India Street, San Diego, CA 9…

The convention center goes dark at six, but the people inside it don't power down — they just need somewhere to put the charge. That's the whole reason a tribute act spent years building replica chromed helmets, a full-scale pyramid stage, and electro-luminescent suits that glow like the inside of a game grid. They believe the best hours of Comic-Con week aren't on the floor at all — they're after, when the badge comes off and the costume stays on and a room full of strangers turns out to be exactly your people. Little Italy's Music Box becomes a Tron sequence for one night: futuristic beats, glowing everything, an "Alive 2007"-style spectacle that treats Daft Punk like scripture. Cosplayers, ravers, and the SDCC crowd who refuse to call it a night all end up under the same lights. You do not need a Comic-Con badge to walk in. Doors at 8PM, the night ignites at 9PM, Saturday, July 25, 2026, at Music Box, 1337 India Street, San Diego, CA 92101. Tickets through Belly Up.

San Diego Comic-Con 2026 — Sunday

Tomorrow · Jul 26 From $50 San Diego Convention Center, 111 W…

Four days of maximum input produce a loose, generous, overstimulated crowd that is genuinely fun to be inside - and Sunday is the day the cosplay hits full intensity because it is the last chance. This is the version of Comic-Con that keeps people coming back year after year, once the floor has been walked and the big Hall H panels have already fired. The Exhibit Hall has deals that did not exist Thursday - publishers moving stock, creators selling what is left of their limited prints. The announcements have already happened; what remains is the experience. The Convention Center floor in late July, harbor visible through the glass, fifty thousand people who flew in from everywhere - nothing replicates it. Badges at this level do not linger. If Sunday is your entry point into SDCC, take it - it is a real day. San Diego Convention Center, July 26th. From $50 for a badge on the final day.

FilAm CreatorCon Mixer — SDCC 2026 Offsite at Pizza Kaiju

Tomorrow · Jul 26 Pizza Kaiju, 1985 National Ave Sui…

There is a room in San Diego where the stories your lola told you live alongside the panels you waited six hours to see — and on Saturday night during Comic-Con, that room opens its doors at Pizza Kaiju. FilAm CreatorCon's SDCC Mixer is a free evening gathering that brings together Filipino American creators working in comic books, film, literature, tattooing, dance, music, and every creative form in between. This is not a panel or a signing — it is a casual networking night where the Filipino American pop culture community comes together during the biggest fan convention in the world, hosted by DJ G Money and WinLove. Pizza Kaiju sits at 1985 National Avenue in Barrio Logan, a short ride from the Convention Center but a world away from the badge-gated chaos of the main floor. No Comic-Con badge is required. No cover charge. Just show up. What makes this gathering different from the dozen other SDCC parties happening the same night is specificity. This is not for fans in the abstract — it is for Filipino Americans who create, who consume, who see themselves in the work and want to be in the same room as the people making it. The artists who draw the books, the filmmakers who tell the stories, the chefs who bridge food and fandom. If that sentence describes you or someone you know, this is the room. FilAm CreatorCon has grown from a small gathering into a fixture of SDCC week, and the mixer is the most accessible entry point — no tickets, no waitlist, no badge. Come for the music, stay for the connections, leave knowing the community is bigger than you thought.

Metrocon 2026 — Florida Anime Convention, Tampa

In 6 days · Jul 31 – Aug 2 Tampa Convention Center, 333 S Fra…

Florida's anime community has been meeting at Metrocon every summer since 2002. Three days at the Tampa Convention Center — the event that built anime fandom in this state. What it feels like: Metrocon runs hot on cosplay. Florida's anime community has produced some of the country's most technically impressive costume builds, and the convention center floor is a working gallery of that craft. The programming is community-forward — panels run by fans who actually know the material, not PR-approved talking points. The Artist Alley features Southeast creators who rarely appear at national conventions, making Metrocon a genuine discovery venue for independent anime art and merchandise. Worth it? Who it is for: Metrocon is for the Florida anime fan who has been told that the real conventions are all in California. They are not. Metrocon draws 20,000 attendees to Tampa every summer and has been doing so for over 20 years. It is also worth the flight for East Coast fans looking for a convention that combines quality programming with the natural draw of Tampa in late July — the city has invested heavily in its Riverwalk and Ybor City nightlife, making the convention weekend an actual trip. What to know before you go: Badge pickup moves quickly for pre-registered attendees. The Artist Alley opens a half-hour before the main floor — use this window if you want first access to independent vendors. The cosplay contest runs Saturday evening and draws the highest-production builds; arrive early for seating. Tampa in late July is genuinely hot — plan accordingly if you are wearing anything elaborate. The cultural moment: Metrocon has been running for over two decades, which means it has watched the anime fandom transform from a niche community to the mainstream cultural force it is today. It carries that history without being precious about it — the convention feels alive in a way that older events sometimes lose. Florida has an anime community that rivals California's at the neighborhood level. Metrocon is the annual proof.

D23: The Ultimate Disney Fan Event

Aug 14 – Aug 16, 2026 Anaheim Convention Center, 800 W K…

Every two years, one room decides what the next two years of your imagination look like — where Disney tells the world what's coming for Pixar, Marvel, Star Wars, and the parks, and where the fans who care most find out first, together, before anyone. D23 is not a trade show; it's the largest gathering of Disney fans on earth. The Disney Entertainment Showcase on Friday covers film and television. The Disney Experiences Showcase on Saturday covers parks, resorts, cruise lines, and themed experiences. The Disney Legends Ceremony on Sunday honors the people who shaped the company across decades. Expect MCU Phase Six reveals, Star Wars announcements, next-generation park experiences, animation premieres, and surprises saved specifically for this room. The Anaheim Convention Center is walking distance from Disneyland, and the surrounding area fills with fan meetups, pop-up shops, and community gatherings for the full week. If you follow any Disney-adjacent fandom - animation, Marvel, parks, Star Wars - this is where the ground shifts. August 14-16 at the Anaheim Convention Center, with city-wide fan programming beginning August 8. Tickets sell in tiers: General Admission gets you the main hall, premium tiers add reserved seating and exclusive merchandise. Buy early.

Anime NYC 2026

Aug 20 – Nov 22, 2026 From $175 Javits Center, New York, NY 10001

The East Coast doesn't have Anime Expo. It built Anime NYC — and for the community on the right side of the country, that distinction matters. Javits Center, November 20-22, 2026. Three days, one convention floor, and the crowd that traveled 400 miles to be in the same room as guests who shaped the shows they grew up on. Panels, artist alley, industry announcements, the con floor energy that only happens when this many people are this invested. The guest roster pulls from English and Japanese voice acting, manga artists, and industry figures who don't appear at US conventions often. Artist Alley is one of the larger ones on the East Coast circuit. The show floor runs exhibitors across the full range — merchandise, media, collectibles. Badges from $175. New York City is the venue around the venue — the community migrates through Midtown after hours. The East Coast convention that became its own thing.

Anime NYC 2026 - New York, NY

Aug 20 – Aug 23, 2026 Jacob K. Javits Convention Center,…

The Javits Center in August. Four days, 150,000 attendees — the largest anime convention on the East Coast. It started in 2017 as a regional alternative to AX and became something much larger. The Javits Center in August feels like a contained version of the anime internet made physical. Cosplay is everywhere and serious -- the craftsmanship people bring to their costumes is a form of artistic expression that deserves its own category. The exhibition hall has major publishers like Crunchyroll, Yen Press, and Nakama Press launching titles; creator meet-and-greets and autograph lotteries for guests like Yuji Kaku of Jujutsu Kaisen fill up in hours. Over 150 hours of programming runs simultaneously across panels, screenings, and Q-and-A sessions with creators. The New York City setting amplifies everything -- the crowd has NYC energy, the restaurants outside are excellent, and the convention benefits from the cultural infrastructure of the country's most connected city. Anime NYC is worth it for anyone serious about anime or manga culture. For East Coast fans who have not made the trip to Anime Expo in Los Angeles, this is the domestic pilgrimage -- the place where the industry treats you as a primary audience rather than a secondary market. For fans of specific titles, the autograph lotteries for major creators are reasons unto themselves. The 2026 edition adds a Family Zone presented by Scholastic and a Kids Sunday ticket for ages 6 to 12 -- signaling the generational shift already underway. This is not for people who want a casual festival atmosphere. It is for people who know their fandoms, track release schedules, and understand why certain announcements matter. Badge prices increase after May 31 -- purchase now if you are going. Bring a refillable water bottle; drinks inside run $4 and up with free fill stations throughout the Javits. Skip the Javits Starbucks and use the Hudson Yards location a short walk away. Walk Artist Alley and the Exhibition Hall completely once without buying -- collect business cards, compare prices, note everything -- then return to purchase. Autograph lotteries for top guests fill fast; register the moment they open. Bathrooms near the Expo Floor and Artist Alley get congested by midday; plan accordingly. Anime NYC's rise to East Coast dominance reflects something real: anime is no longer a niche import. It is one of the primary storytelling languages of a generation that grew up watching Naruto, reading One Piece, and building identities around the worlds attached to those stories. Anime NYC is where that generation convenes, where Japanese creators recognize their American audience in person, and where the next phase of the culture gets seeded. The Family Zone added in 2026 signals what is already happening: this is a mainstream cultural institution that happens to be run by and for people who care deeply about the craft.

Happening Now

The collectibles community has its own SDCC — and this is it. Thrilljoy's Rock the Block takes over the InterContinental San Diego on Saturday night of Comic-Con week with exclusive PIX Packs, carnival games, giveaways, and the kind of energy that only happens when people who obsess over the same things end up in the same room.

When tickets launched, bots crashed the site. Thrilljoy had to manually cancel suspicious purchases and restore spots for real collectors. That is not a marketing story — that is the community telling you how badly they wanted in. The demand is the signal.

Every attendee gets two drink tickets, food, and an exclusive Block Party PIX Pack with event-only items you cannot get anywhere else. This is the party where your shelf gets something nobody else's shelf has. The games and giveaways run all night. The venue is steps from the Convention Center — close enough to still feel the SDCC energy, far enough to breathe.

Ages 5 and up. Doors at 6 PM, runs until 11 PM. Tickets are 165 dollars and limited to 2 per person — this is intentionally small. The InterContinental San Diego is at 901 Bayfront Ct, right on the waterfront. If you collect, this is your Saturday night.

You found your people.

They didn't know each other before Falkor either.
