Events

ASAPA runs several events throughout the year. While the majority of our events occur in Edmonton, we held a Halloween Dance in Calgary in the past.

Animethon

Our flagship event is, and has always been, Animethon. This convention attracts 8500-9000 con-goers each year and features a variety of guests, music, video programming, and live events. Join us for our festival in August.

Valentine's Day Event

Occasionally we hold a winter mini event to celebrate Valentine's Day!

A Taste of Animethon

Animethon has also spawned a mini-event, Taste of Animethon. It is a fun, fairly casual one-day event that tends to show up in January-February. It's a chance to meet up with friends and show off your cosplay in-between the main convention dates.

Pin Trading Parties
