About the event

The 3rd Annual Kawaii Fall Festival (formerly in the Summer) has returned this October to Anime Paradaisu in Raleigh, NC! Come out for a fun evening full of Studio Ghibli themed activities & kawaii (cute) vendors! Highlights: - At sundown (~7pm), pull up your lawn chair to watch an outdoor free screening of Kiki's Delivery Service - a classic family friendly Ghibli film! - Join the scavenger hunt for the Mononoke Kodamas hidden throughout the market! Winners who find them all get a kawaii prize at the end :) - Play traditional festival games with a kawaii twist at our Activities booth like Ring Toss (on Ramune bottles), Goldfish (toy) scooping, and make a Ghibli themed craft as a souvenir ! - Step inside Anime Paradaisu's shop to play Gatcha coin games, or get some sweet anime merch! - Get a taste of Spirited Away's festival scene by walking around the vendors tents under string lights & lanterns ! Maybe you'll find a better deal than Chihiro did. - Enjoy a cosplay tea party with Galaxy Dreams Maid Cafe! They'll serve warm drinks like tea, cocoa, and coffee throughout the evening to festival patrons as well as those in a maid cafe session. - Enjoy dinner at the festival at the on-site food truck, or walk up to the nearby O'Malley's pub for takeout. The event is free to the public to attend. Some activities may charge a fee to play. Event hosted at Anime Paradaisu on Hollyridge Dr, Raleigh, NC in the Oak Park Shopping Center right off of US-70.

About the application

Hello! Welcome to Kawaii Fall Fest 2026!

 

This year, we are hosting a simple, runway style Kawaii Fashion Showcase! 

 

This is not a competition, but rather an opportunity to showcase your favorite J-Fashion outfits with other particpants who enjoy J Fashion too! You'll walk on stage briefly to show it off, and you can optionally talk about it to your fellow particpants if you'd like to share how you made it, altered it, where you bought it, what brand/clothing line it's from and so forth, to connect with other J-Fashion fans! 

 

Sign up is free, it's just to know how many people to expect. Sign ups will be open until the Fashion Showcase starts at 6pm on Oct 17 2026. There will be one hour from 6-7pm to participate.

 

We hope you enjoy connecting with other fans of the Kawaii & J Fashion scene, and have fun!
