About the event
NijiFest is not your average anime convention.
It's 3 days of cosplay, community, and culture built by queer anime fans, for queer anime fans — and everyone who loves what we love.
May 15-17, 2026 | Hotel Fera, Anaheim CA

What makes NijiFest different?
At mega-cons, you wait 4 hours in line to wave at a voice actor from row 47. At NijiFest, you're in a room small enough to actually have a conversation.
Here's what your badge gets you:
🎤 Voice Actor Guests —
Jessie Grelle (Yuri | Yuri on Ice),
Brian Beacock (Ryunosuke Akutagawa | Bungo Stray Dogs)
Valerie Rose Lohman (Emily | Class of '09).
WITH MORE ANNOUNCEMENTS ON THE WAY
Live panels, meet-and-greets, and real fan experiences — not a "Line Con"
🎨 50+ Artists — Independent and queer artists creating fanart, prints, pins, and merch you won't find on Amazon.
This is the Artist Alley your bookshelf has been waiting for.
🎶 Multiple Nights of Raves and Performances — Real DJs, DRAQ QUEENS, And Drinks
📸 Cosplay Meetups & Contests — Photo zones, group meetups, and contests where your craft gets the spotlight it deserves. Your cosplay is the event here.
🏳️Queer-Inclusive & Community-First — BL panels, queer artist showcases, and a space where you don't have to explain your ships or tone yourself down.
You belong Here.
