Description

Youmacon 2020 rollover event for Halloween 2021 Youmacon is a celebration of Japanese animation, videogames, popular culture and costuming, and its influence on our own culture over the past few decades. Common themes throughout the event are Anime (Japanese animation), video games, Japanese-style artwork and comics, and the rising Internet culture influenced by all of the above. Youmacon brings a unique all-ages mix of interactive games, celebrity guest panels and live musical performances to downtown Detroit. Now in its 16th year, highlights for Youmacon 2020 will include large video game and table-top gaming rooms, a Charity Masquerade Ball, national bands and DJs and a massive 150,000 sq. foot dealer’s room for shopping Anime, artwork, figures and other collectibles. Last year’s Youmacon drew more than 21,000 attendees from all around the world. Started by Morgan Kollin & a group of friends in the Metro Detroit area in 2005, the anime and gaming convention known as Youmacon has become one of the largest events of its type in North America in just seven years, managing to become the first and only event to fill the Detroit Marriott at the Renaissance Center to its maximum capacity. Beginning in 2012, Youmacon has annexed Cobo Center in Downtown Detroit for its annual event.
