AnimeFest
AnimeFest is an annual four-day anime convention held during August at the Loews Arlington Hotel in Arlington, Texas. The convention typically offers an art show, autograph sessions, cosplay contests, dealers room, gaming, and a masquerade. In 2012, the convention moved from the Hyatt Regency Dallas to the Sheraton Dallas Downtown Hotel. A-Kon also used the same hotel in 2012. AnimeFest in 2017 had issues with its autograph lines. AnimeFest 2020 was cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic. AnimeFest 2021 was initially cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic and an online event held in its place. The convention would later hold an event in December 2021. AnimeFest held its last full event in 2024, with future planned events being smaller. = AnimeFest Website
