Upcoming Appearances

RisuCon

RisuCon will have vendors, anime screenings, cosplay contests, free themed group photo shoots, a game room with tournaments, a kids (of all ages) activity area, a cosplay maker space, panels, and weather permitting: an awful lot of outdoor fun. Our vendor space is over 28,000 square feet alone! Why RisuCon? Risu means squirrel in Japanese. Japan is the source of so much of our fandom and inspiration, and there are a LOT of squirrels in Maryland.
