About

Down a ramp beneath Echo Park, a sound system has been shaking the walls every week since the year 2000, and Dub Club remains the beating heart of LA's reggae underground, a room where the bass is felt in the sternum and the crowd knows every riddim by heart. This night brings Jah9, the Jamaican singer whose jazz-inflected, deeply spiritual roots music has made her one of the most revered voices of the new reggae generation, with Rik Jam and the Dub Club DJs holding it down. Wednesday, August 19, 2026, 9 PM, the Echoplex in Echo Park, 21+. Come for the sound-system culture done exactly right, the outdoor bleachers, the deep vibes, and a crowd that treats this as church. Bring the friend who lives for bass. This is the good, hidden LA that tourists never find.

IchigoCon 2026 — Gaming + Anime Oxnard

In 14 days · Aug 15 Oxnard Performing Arts Center, 800…

Ventura County has spent years being the place you leave to find your people — an hour to San Diego, an hour to LA, a drive and a crowd on the other end. IchigoCon is the answer the community built for itself: proof that you don't need to be in a major metro to have a real fandom gathering, just people who care enough to make one. It's run by the nonprofit behind the Oxnard Performing Arts Center, which gives it a genuine arts-and-culture weight most hotel-hall cons never get — a single, packed day of gaming tournaments, anime screenings, voice-actor guests, a vendor hall, and a cosplay competition, all tightly run. For fans from Ventura, Santa Barbara, and the western Valley, this is the home con, the place local fandom actually forms instead of just briefly gathering in someone else's crowd. Oxnard Performing Arts Center, August 15 — a single-day pass, details and cosplay-contest registration at IchigoCon's page as the date nears. The show that deserves more attention than it gets, which is exactly the kind that grows.

SoCal Pokemon Regional Championship — Anaheim 2026

In 7 days · Aug 8 – Aug 9 Disneyland Hotel Convention Center…

The room smells like fresh card sleeves and barely contained adrenaline. Every table is a quiet war between two people who've been thinking about this matchup since Tuesday. The SoCal Pokemon Regional Championship returns to the Disneyland Hotel Convention Center on August 8-9, 2026 — the largest competitive Pokemon TCG event in Southern California. This isn't a casual league night. Regionals draw hundreds of players across Junior, Senior, and Master divisions, all competing for Championship Points, prize money, and the kind of bragging rights that only matter to people who understand why they matter. The side event schedule is stacked: open play, casual leagues, vendor floor access with Magic: The Gathering, Yu-Gi-Oh!, One Piece TCG, Disney Lorcana, and Dragon Ball Z Fusion World dealers. If you've ever explained to someone that your deck isn't meta but it works — this is where you prove it or retire the line. Two days, hundreds of players, and the only convention center where you can buy a Charizard and ride Space Mountain in the same afternoon. Registration through the official Play Pokemon event page. Spectator access included with event entry.

Crunchyroll The Loop — Immersive Anime Pop-Up at Westfield Topanga

Today · Aug 1 Westfield Topanga, 6600 Topanga Ca…

You've watched the fight scenes on your phone in bed. You've paused on the frame where the animation budget clearly tripled. Now imagine walking into that frame — not a poster of it, not a gift shop version, but the room itself, rebuilt at full scale, waiting for you to stand where the character stood. Crunchyroll's The Loop is a free immersive pop-up experience at Westfield Topanga in Canoga Park, and it's built for the people who don't just watch anime — they live inside it. The current rotation features Solo Leveling, Sentenced to Be a Hero, and Bananya, each with its own themed room complete with photo opportunities, audio and visual installations, and replica props that exist specifically so you can hold them. General admission is free, with a standby line when the space reaches capacity. A fifteen-dollar limited-edition pin pack buys fast-pass access to skip the wait. The space rotates its featured series, so the rooms you visit this month won't be the same ones that open next. Follow @discovertheloop for schedule updates. Open now through late August 2026. Westfield Topanga, first floor near The Village food court, below the AMC. Canoga Park, CA.

Somewhere in that hall is a holographic Charizard, and the only way to know if today is the day you find it is to walk the walls of long boxes yourself. With over 900 dealer tables across West Hall A, this is the trading card, anime, and pop culture floor experience that turns casual fans into lifelong collectors: Pokemon, Magic: The Gathering, One Piece, and sports cards alongside anime merchandise, Funko POPs, vintage toys, comics, and rare video games. Whether you're hunting that Charizard, completing a One Piece set, or just browsing walls of nostalgia, the day is built for the hunt - live box break events, trading sessions, celebrity guest appearances, and convention-only merchandise drops. The Los Angeles Convention Center West Hall A offers easy parking and sits centrally for collectors from across Southern California - LA, Orange County, the Inland Empire, and San Diego all have strong collector communities that converge here. Collect-A-Con Los Angeles 2026, August 1-2, doors at 10am both days. Two-day passes and general admission via Ticketmaster, with VIP early entry options. Come ready to trade, hunt, and discover.

Dragonfest Expo 20th Anniversary — Asian Martial Arts & Culture Glendale

Today · Aug 1 TBA — check Eventbrite Glendale Civic Auditorium, 1401 N …

If you grew up on kung fu films, on anime with real fight choreography, on any corner of Asian pop culture that taught you a body could move like that, this is the room where all of it lives in one place - and this year it turns twenty. The Martial Arts History Museum's flagship celebration returns August 1, 2026 at the Glendale Civic Auditorium for the 20th Annual Dragonfest Expo, its biggest milestone yet. It calls itself the greatest cultural and martial arts expo in the world, and the twenty-year mark brings the full scale of that claim to Glendale: meet-and-greets, Q&A sessions, and photo opportunities with the martial arts celebrities and icons who defined the art on film and in competition, a six-part Q&A lecture series with guest speakers, Asian cultural performances, and a full cosplay photo experience for the anime and gaming crowd that has always overlapped with martial arts fandom. The Martial Arts History Museum is a nonprofit dedicated to preserving martial arts history and culture, and it runs this as its annual showcase - all proceeds fund the museum directly. All ages welcome. Six hours of programming from 11 AM to 5 PM, with paid parking at the Glendale Civic Auditorium, accessible by Metro and public transit from across LA County. If you have been to Dragonfest before, this is the year you don't skip. If you haven't, this is the year to start. August 1, 2026 - Glendale Civic Auditorium.

SheroCon 2026 — Van Nuys, CA

Today · Aug 1 7900 Balboa Blvd Ste B, Van Nuys, …

There are rooms in the comics and gaming world where the art on the walls and the people running the tables look different from every other convention. SheroCon exists because someone decided to build one. Organized by Shero Comics, SheroCon is a half-day convention celebrating women, non-binary, and femme-presenting creators across comics, anime, gaming, and creative tech. Not a panel about inclusion. Not a track added to a larger convention. A room that is entirely theirs — with artists, cosplayers, tabletop players, and workshops oriented around the communities that are underrepresented at every other show. The venue is part of the experience: Valley Relics Museum in Van Nuys houses decades of Southern California neon, vintage signage, and pop culture ephemera. The backdrop alone makes SheroCon unlike anything you have seen at a hotel ballroom convention. Whether you are a creator looking for your people, a cosplayer looking for a stage, or someone who has walked into convention dealer halls and felt like a tourist — this is the room that was built for you. Saturday, August 1, 2026 · 12PM–6PM · Valley Relics Museum, Van Nuys · All ages · Free entry (premium tiers available)

Anime SD: Summer Cosplay Social

Today · Aug 1 Free Balboa Park, San Diego, CA 92101

No ticket, no badge, no schedule - just a character and the willingness to show up in the park where the architecture hands every costume the backdrop it deserves. Balboa Park in August turns outdoor cosplay photography into production work with no production behind it. The Spanish Colonial Revival buildings, the fountain plazas, the museum facades all read as fantasy environments no matter what you are cosplaying. An armor build catches the afternoon light against the Botanical Building in a way photographers plan shoots around; a soft character design photographs against the garden with no post-processing needed. The social runs as an open community gathering - no formal schedule, no judging, no hierarchy between the group who spent six months on a build and the group in store-bought costumes who came because it looked fun. Both are welcome. Photographers with real cameras show up alongside phone cameras. The park provides the setting; the people provide the energy. Follow Anime SD on Meetup for the exact gather location: meetup.com/anime-watch-san-diego. Balboa Park, August 1st, 2026. Free. Show up in costume and find your people.

Tiki Oasis 2026 — San Diego

In 4 days · Aug 5 – Aug 9 Weekend pass $100-200 · Night tickets $35-65 500 Hotel Circle North, San Diego,…

If a skull-shaped mug and a rum drink named after a deity have ever exerted a genuine pull on you, there is a five-day gathering in Mission Valley where several thousand people feel exactly the same way. Tiki Oasis is the world's largest tiki culture convention and one of the most coherent subcultures in American pop culture - a shared aesthetic vocabulary, a love of craftsmanship, and a real reverence for the mid-century obsession with tropical fantasy. Since 2001, it has drawn collectors, artists, musicians, bartenders, and fashion enthusiasts to the Town and Country Resort, all in full tiki regalia: vintage Hawaiian shirts, muumuus, leis, elaborate cosplay. Each year turns on a theme that shapes the art, entertainment, vendors, and fashion. Expect live exotica and tiki-adjacent performances, rum and cocktail seminars led by some of the country's top bartenders, an extensive marketplace of handmade ceramics and collectibles, and exhibitions from the best tiki artists working. Tiki Oasis 2026 runs August 5-9 at Town and Country Resort, 500 Hotel Circle North, San Diego. Individual-night and full-weekend passes at tikioasis.com. The pool parties and live band sets sell fastest - book early.

Sturgis Motorcycle Rally 2026 — Sturgis, SD

In 6 days · Aug 7 – Aug 16 Main Street, Sturgis, SD 57785

Ten days in August, and the small town of Sturgis, South Dakota — population 7,000 — becomes a city of half a million. The Sturgis Motorcycle Rally has been doing this since 1938. Arrive in Sturgis on the first Friday of the rally and the sound alone tells you something is different. Main Street closes to cars and opens to motorcycles, and the flow of custom Harleys, touring bikes, and custom builds becomes a continuous parade. The surrounding Black Hills are the real draw for serious riders: Needles Highway is 14 miles of narrow tunnels and granite spire switchbacks that belong on every motorcyclist's bucket list. Iron Mountain Road corkscrews through South Dakota's most dramatic terrain. The rally itself spawns music stages, vendor villages, stunt shows, bike shows, and pop-up bars across a 50-mile radius — the Buffalo Chip alone hosts major touring acts nightly. The diversity of the crowd surprises first-timers: veterans and newcomers, engineers and mechanics, people who rode three states to get here and people who flew in and rented a bike. The common denominator is the machine. Sturgis is for anyone who rides or wants to understand what riding means to the people who live it. This is not for people looking for a sanitized festival experience with VIP sections and scheduled activities. It is for those who find meaning in the open road, want to ride some of the most dramatic terrain in the country, and are comfortable with ten days of organized chaos. If you are a motorcyclist who has never been, Sturgis before you die is not a cliche — it is a genuine recommendation. Book accommodations now. Not soon. Now. Hotels and campgrounds within 50 miles of Sturgis sell out months in advance, and the closer to Main Street, the earlier they go. The Buffalo Chip is the largest campground and hosts the best concerts — book a camping package directly with them. Bring rain gear: August in South Dakota includes afternoon thunderstorms that clear fast. Gas up before you reach Main Street — the lines at pumps on rally days are long. Parking on Main Street is motorcycle only, which means you park your bike among 50,000 others and walk the strip. That is the point. There is no corporate polish here, no influencer activations, no sponsored experiences. There is Needles Highway at sunrise, a custom build that took three years, and 450,000 people who made the same choice to show up. That kind of authenticity is increasingly rare. Sturgis 2026 runs August 7-16 in Sturgis, South Dakota. Event information at sturgis.com.

Midsummer Scream 2026: Horror Musicals

In 6 days · Aug 7 – Aug 9 35.0 Long Beach Convention Center, 300 …

There are people who live for the season all year, who treat October like a religion and spend the other eleven months in withdrawal. This is the weekend that carries them through summer. The signature draw is the Hall of Shadows - a massive darkened section of the convention center holding more than a dozen fully produced haunted experiences, all three days, included with every badge type, no separate ticket. It's the largest indoor haunt zone in California outside the October season itself. The show floor runs 350-plus vendors and artists selling horror costumes, seasonal decor, original artwork, vintage collectibles, props, and franchise merchandise. Celebrity guests for 2026 include Matthew Lillard, Barry Bostwick, and Jasmin Savoy Brown, plus a 20th anniversary celebration of Repo! The Genetic Opera with director Darren Lynn Bousman and actor Bill Moseley confirmed. Panels cover haunt design, genre cinema, practical effects, cosplay construction, and industry Q&As. Now in its tenth year and themed 'Horror Musicals,' Midsummer Scream is the West Coast's largest Halloween and horror convention. Long Beach Convention Center, 300 E Ocean Blvd, minutes from the waterfront. August 7-9, 2026. Weekend and single-day passes online in advance.

Geekin Out Pop Culture Convention — La Mirada August 2026

In 7 days · Aug 8 Holiday Inn La Mirada, 14299 Fires…

The specific joy of a small con is inventory - a dealer who has the exact 1980s action figure you've been chasing for a decade, with enough floor space that you can actually find it. Geekin Out is built for that: focused enough to draw serious collectors with deep inventory, accessible enough for a casual fan who just wants to browse. Organized by Toy Depot, this one-day toy and pop culture convention takes over the Holiday Inn La Mirada on August 8, 2026. The floor features vendors specializing in everything from original 1980s action figures and vintage board games to modern collectible figures and custom fan art, with a Creator Alley giving independent artists and craftspeople dedicated space to sell original work directly to attendees. It's family-friendly, with free parking in the hotel lot. The La Mirada location makes it a convenient option for collectors coming from the South Bay, Orange County, and the San Gabriel Valley. Doors open at 9am and the convention runs until 6pm. Advance ticket pricing is available through Eventbrite.

California Extreme Pinball & Arcade Show 2026

In 7 days · Aug 8 – Aug 10 Santa Clara Convention Center, 500…

You've been in rooms full of pinball machines before. Not like this. Every July, collectors and operators bring their machines to Santa Clara — not for display, not behind velvet rope — but set up on free play for the entire weekend. Five hundred of them. The 1970s electromechanical tables that require a different kind of patience. The golden-age arcade cabinets. The obscure things from the late eighties that haven't been in a room together since the mall they lived in closed down. You pay once to get in, and then you just play. This is California Extreme, July 17-19, 2026 at the Santa Clara Convention Center. The people who go every year describe it the same way: they expected to spend an hour and stayed the whole weekend. The machines are part of it. The other people who showed up knowing exactly where they were going — those people are the rest of it. All-weekend pass recommended. You cannot see five hundred machines in a day. Advance tickets at caextreme.org. Santa Clara Convention Center, 5001 Great America Pkwy, Santa Clara, CA.
