About AnniCon
AnniCon began in March 2012 as a free, one-day mini-convention of Japanese culture including art, music, costuming, manga, anime, food, history, and special guests at the Public Library of Anniston-Calhoun County.
AnniCon 2013, and 2014 saw attendance quickly jump to over 200 attendees necessitating a move from the Library to a larger location, the Anniston City Meeting Center.
AnniCon 2015 saw over 500 attendees and was also the first year it hosted the addition of vendors and artisans.
AnniCon 2016 had more attendees than ever before (~2,000) and required additional space within the Anniston City Meeting Center. We added more variety with the addition of a Gaming track and an Anime viewing room. We expanded the Vendor/Artist space to accommodate more Vendors/Artists and the larger numbers of attendees.
AnniCon 2017 once again saw over 2,000 attendees and retained the same atmosphere as AnniCon 2016.
We intend to continue making AnniCon an entertaining and engaging FREE cultural experience for all ages.
