Event
AVCon Anime and Gaming Festival at the Adelaide Showground is Adelaide's all ages celebration of anime and gaming, packed with music and dance, free play gaming, cosplay, vendors, artists, panels, workshops and a dedicated kids' area across one huge weekend.
AVCon brings together fans, creators and community in one huge space. Browse a huge range of vendors, discover artists and makers, and pick up the perfect collectible, print or handmade piece to take home. Catch stage events and anime screenings, then dive into panels and workshops where you can learn new skills, hear from guests, and connect with online creators and fellow fans.
Gaming is at the heart of the experience. Enjoy unlimited free video games; console, PC, VR, arcade, tournaments, and indie game showcase. Prefer tabletop? Settle in with card games, board games, war gaming and RPG sessions. Food and drink options are available on site too. There is always something happening, come for cosplay photos, a favourite series, a new game, or just the electric atmosphere.
Whether you are brand new or a long time attendee, AVCon is welcoming, inclusive and easy to enjoy at your own pace. Accessible options are available, and volunteers can help you find your way.
If you are 18+, stick around Saturday night for AVCon After Dark, a separately ticketed adults only event.
