2024 Cosplay Dance Events Idols News Sign Ups Update

Idol Fest Signups Now Open!

June 1, 2024

Calling all Idols!

Sign-ups for PopCult Anime Con’s Idol Festival 2024 are now open! Our Idol Fest is similar to the Masquerade, but features only exhibition performances with no competition or judging. We accept cosplay cover groups from all idol franchises and all participating performers must sign up ahead of time as there are a limited number of spots. A video of each group dancing to their chosen song must be submitted alongside the application. For more info visit the Idol Festival page under Main Events.

We want to thank Local Legends Susume→PARADISE for hosting this event, now in its sixth year at PCAC!

 

Idols not your thing? Masquerade and Panel sign-ups are also open, and Game Show applications will be available within the next few weeks! There’s always so much to do at PopCult Anime Con~

Happy Pride Month 2024! 🏳️‍🌈 We will once again be at Waltham Pride (June 16th) slinging free sand art, buttons and stickers~ it’s an honor to participate as a fellow local, welcoming and LGBT-owned and operated event.

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!
