What is a Summer Matsuri?

Matsuri is a general term for a Japanese festival. Our Summer Matsuri is just that, a festival celebrating Japanese Animation, Manga, and the Otaku community in general.

A Summer Matsuri is a one and a half day convention, taking place at the Radisson Hotel in Manchester, NH. The events will begin at 4PM on Friday, and stretch late into Saturday Night.

As a full-fledged "mini-con," a Summer Matsuri will offer most of the amenities of the traditional anime convention. More information regarding these events can be found on the Events page.

Are there any events on Friday Night?

Yes. Starting at 4pm on Friday Night, a Summer Matsuri will have a karaoke competition, cosplay dance-off, anime dance workshop, and Yomise dance.

More information about these events can be found on the events page.

Will there be any artists or dealers?

We will have a vendors' room, as well as an artists' area. Currently, we have Black Knight Comics, and Kyoto Anime, as vendors. We are also seeking artists. See the registration page for more information!
