Idol Fest Sign Ups Now Open

May 20, 2023

Sign ups for the Idol Festival are now open! And of course, the PCAC Idol Fest wouldn’t be complete without our fabulous hosts…

Announcing our first Local Legends of 2023, Susume→PARADISE!

 

Susume→PARADISE will be hosting the 5th Annual PopCult Anime Idol Festival on Sunday, August 27th in the Eden Vale Ballroom/Main Events. This exhibition event is open to cosplay cover groups from all idol franchises! While similar to a cosplay masquerade, the PCAC Idol Fest includes only idol performances and is NOT a judged competition. All participating performers must sign up ahead of time as there are a limited number of spots. In the case we fill up, there will also be a wait list. Participants under the age of 16 must have a permission slip signed by a legal guardian. All participants must be registered for (at least) Sunday of PopCult Anime Con. The application will be open from May 20th to June 30th. For full participation rules visit the Idol Fest page here.

To learn more about the incredible and incredibly talented Susume→PARADISE, visit our Local Legends page!

What Are People Saying About PopCult Anime Con?

One of my Favorite Cons!

December 1, 2024

This con has come such a long way from its early days, it’s so based in community and brining joy and uplifting to its attendees. Every staff member I interact with is always so helpful, the offerings of panels and events during the con is so accessible and fun. It’s basically everything you’d want from a small community con in a growing atmosphere. Couldn’t recommend it more! Give it a try!

PopCult was the convention that made me love conventions!

December 1, 2024

I used to dislike conventions, but PopCult was my first anime convention back in 2022 (I went for a friends birthday), and the kind staff and fun events made me absolutely love conventions instead! The attendees are always so kind, and there’s always something fresh and exciting to do there each year! I plan to come back for many, many years!

This is the best convention for beginners! I started going in 2022 and will continue every year! The people and staff are always so sweet and like a huge family

An amazing convention with wonderful staff and friends

December 11, 2024

I personally love these smaller conventions, and with it being my first time at Popcult, it had such a great atmosphere to it. I was lucky enough to be the MC for the masquerade, and getting to work with the stage and tech staff was a great experience. The staff is great to be around, and it’s actually very easy to make friends at the con, and you will probably see them at other cons as well. Go for the entire weekend of a great end of summer convention!
