AnimeIowa 2022

AnimeIowa is the largest anime convention in Iowa and still growing, hosting well over 3000 attendees each year. It is held once a year in July Friday through Sunday.

A convention is a gathering of fans where they can meet and participate in activities. Anime refers to animated TV shows and movies produced in Japan. Despite being called AnimeIowa, we cater to an interest in Japanese culture in generation including anime (animated TV shows and movies), manga (comics), gaming, costuming, and more. In short, we also celebrate the customs which originated or are ingrained into the Japanese culture.
