About Otakon

Otakon is the convention of the otaku generation: by fans, for fans; and we'll be back for our 20th Otakon on August 9-11, 2013.

Ever since 1999, we've taken over a sizable chunk of Baltimore's Inner Harbor for a 3-day festival celebrating the pop culture that's brought us everything from Astroboy to Yu-Gi-Oh, from Seven Samurai to Spirited Away.

Join thousands of your fellow fans as we descend on Baltimore to celebrate music, anime, manga, and all other facets of Asian pop culture!

We can't wait to see you there!
