Matsuricon is a three-day anime convention held during August in Columbus, Ohio, at the Hyatt Regency Columbus. Matsuricon's name is from Matsuri (ç¥ã‚Š, matsuri), which in the Japanese language means "Festival", used in marketing and promotional art.
Programming
The convention typically offers an artist’s alley, concerts, cosplay contests, dances, formal ball, game room, game shows, guest speakers, karaoke, panels, and video rooms. Its biggest showcase is the charity raffle, which started in 2009. To date, the event has raised more than $4,000 towards Pelotonia, and then held a special charity with Funimation in 2012 to benefit the 2011 Japanese tsunami fundraising relief. The Carolina Manga Library will provide the conventions manga library in 2014.
History
In 2012 the convention hosted the Distant Worlds concert, lead by Arnie Roth. The convention was followed up with a meet and greet event with composer Nobuo Uematsu for VIP badge holders, following his attendance and performance duets.
