Otakuween [Philadelphia, PA] - 10/31

Otakuween is a Halloween-themed meetup for fans who want to show off a costume, meet new people, take photos, discover local creators, and enjoy an unforgettable night with the community.

Come dressed as your favorite anime, manga, game, Vocaloid, VTuber, or pop-culture character, or wear your best Halloween look. Costumes are encouraged but absolutely not required. The important part is coming ready to have fun.

- A stamp rally where you can visit participating stations, collect stamps, and complete your card for a chance to win prizes
- A high-energy lip sync contest. Bring your performance, favorite character, and biggest stage presence.
- DJ sets to keep the party going with anime, J-pop, K-pop, Vocaloid, gaming, and Halloween-inspired music
- Cosplay photo opportunities and plenty of chances to meet fellow fans

Anime, manga, gaming, convention, and cosplay conversation all night long

Please be respectful of everyone’s boundaries. Always ask before taking photos or touching costumes and props, and help us keep the event welcoming, inclusive, and safe for everyone.
