Welcome to Anime Fusion, your October anime convention!
Anime Fusion is an annual non-profit convention run by volunteers from the Twin Cities fan community. Our organization is dedicated to bringing the classic favorites of anime back into the spotlight alongside the newest titles fresh from Japan. From our guests to our game rooms, we strike a balance between retro and modern favorites. Whether you’re a newcomer to the genre or a die-hard fan of the classics, Anime Fusion is the place to celebrate what you love!
Anime Fusion is truly a convention for all ages, with many family-friendly activities along with 18+ restricted programming for the older crowd. With our family discount options, it’s the perfect place for parents and children to share their love of anime and games. Our nightlife features dances and karaoke, and the daytime hours are filled with panels and activities. And of course, there’s the Saturday night costume contest!
Attending Anime Fusion supports non-profit events in our community. We also host charity auctions dedicated to local organizations. See the “About Us” pages for more information. We are a 100% volunteer-run organization. If you’re looking for a fun way to give back to your community, consider joining our staff or volunteering at the event!
