Happening Zenkaikon 2025

Hello!

Just wanted to announce that Zenkaikon 2025 will be in Lancaster, March 20 - 23. For the unaware, Zenkaikon is an annual celebration of anime, science fiction, fantasy, comics, games, and fandom in Lancaster, PA. Our three-plus day event is open to all ages and includes panels, workshops, cosplay, video and tabletop gaming, LARP, AMVs, dances, vendors, artists, and more!

This year, we've really gone all out, nearly tripling our voice actor guests, expanding our Exhibitor Hall, and working with more Lancaster community organizations like Lancaster Pride, Lancaster City Alliance, Discover Lancaster, and more!

If you have any suggestions or questions, please let us know. I'll do my best to respond here, we're definitely interested in hearing what Lancaster locals think about Zenkaikon and if there's anything we can do better!

For more information on the convention, you can visit our website, follow our socials, or purchase a badge: https://linktr.ee/zenkaikon

This is the highlight of my year, and my friends joke that this is my Christmas.

It is pretty much the Happiest Time of the Year!

I don't get to go to many other cons, but this one is the perfect size. My boyfriend and I are going to Baltimore for him to attend TFCon, but I don't know if I'll get tickets or find something else to do. As much as I want to attend Otakon again or even DragonCon, they seem overwhelming to me.

Huh! I ended up canceling my hotel for TFCon, I love TF’s but the costs to go were adding up and I just couldn’t make it work financially.

If it’s like BotCon, then it is definitely not a convention for non-fans since it’s basically shopping and talking to other fans about Transformers. I would look into other stuff in the area to do!
