The Asheville Anime Regional Convention is holding its first event at the Crowne Plaza Resort Expo Center on Saturday, July 26.
The concept of the Con is to allow fans of Anime, Manga, Sci-Fi, Fantasy and Gaming a new venue to express their love of the arts in Western North Carolina.
Guests at the Con include Jade Saxton (voice actress), J.K. Barber (author), Jonathan French (author), and other like-minded entertainers.
Cosplay, short for “Costume Play,” is encouraged in the spirit of the event. Guidelines for what is considered appropriate are available for view on the official website. No matter the media or medium, there will be something for everyone to express their enjoyment of during the day.
Tickets are $15 for general admission, while kids 10 or below are free. $5 off general admission with appropriate costume.
