Sakura-Con continues at the Washington State Convention Center this weekend |
The Asia-Northwest Cultural Education Association (ANCEA), is proud to present the twenty-first annual Sakura-Con, March 29th to April 1st, at the Washington State Convention Center in downtown Seattle (705 Pike St.)
Sakura-Con is celebrating its 21st Anniversary year! Attendance is expected to include approximately 24 thousand attendee members per day!
Sakura-Con is a round-the-clock festival of Japanese media, cultural arts, education and entertainment. Members who attend Sakura-Con are treated to exclusive appearances from Japanese and American celebrities from the anime, manga, gaming and music industry.
Fans, Industry, Guests and Cultural Presenters put on educational and entertaining panels celebrating Asian culture and media fandom. Highlights include concerts, theaters, dances, free gaming, exhibitors and much more!
Sakura-Con started with 313 attendees in its inaugural year and has grown to be among the top five largest anime conventions in the nation and the second largest of its kind on the West Coast. In 2012, ANCEA received an official commendation from the Japanese Foreign Ministry for contributions to friendship and understanding between Japan and the USA.
ANCEA is a state and federal 501(c)(3) non-profit corporation and entirely volunteer run. The corporation bylaws state that no one, not even the board of directors, can be paid, so Sakura-Con is truly 'for the fans, by the fans.'
Full details, including how to obtain a membership, can be found at www.sakuracon.org.
