Returning Events:
Bishounen Date Auction
Back for another year is our Bishounen Date Auction, where we auction off the hottest guy characters and crossplayers! Bidders bring cash for their favorite characters. You support the con and get a great catered lunch date out of it! How awesome is that?!
Host Party: Theme TBA
The Kawa Kon Host Club (consisting of cosplayers from many favorite series) pampers you with a themed party. The theme will be announced in a couple of months.
Kawa Kon's signature event, the masquerade is a showcase of great costumes and skits by our talented attendees. The masquerade has its own page where you can read more about it and fill out a pre-registration form.
Saturday Night Rave
The famous Kawa Kon rave features a laser light show, three DJs, and thumping music. It's an event you can't miss!
Our DJs for the Kawa Kon rave are local DJs L-Des and Ataru as well as our staff sound & lighting engineer Eric Johnson, who brings his fabulous equipment and laser show.
Whose Line is it Anime?
Improv actors get you in on the act as they play quick-thinking acting games with your favorite anime and video games.
Opening Ceremonies
Join us as we start off Kawa Kon with a bang (if you were here in 2009, you know we sometimes take that literally)! This year's Opening Ceremonies will introduce you to the guests and staff in a fun way.
Closing Ceremonies
There's never been a better reason to stick around on Sunday! We throw tons of candy, t-shirts, and other prizes into the audience and make you do silly things for the biggest ones.
AMV Contest
Test your editing skills with our AMV Contest. Entry forms and rules are available on the Contests Page of the website.
FanFiction Contest
Can you write fabulous fanfiction? Check out our fanfic contest on the Contests Page.
Anime Swap Meet
Bring all of your anime-related "junk" for a swap meet from 2-5 p.m. on Friday of the convention. Trade your trash for another's treasure. If you have a lot of stuff, you can even request a free table. Just bring a handfull of stuff to trade! We will have a second, hour-long swap meet on Sunday morning if you have "buyer's remorse" and want to trade that item you bought in the dealers' room for someone else's much cooler used stuff.
Karaoke
New to Kawa Kon is open karaoke! Sing your heart out to your friends or simply come to have some fun with karaoke favorites, from Disney to Elvis to A Perfect Circle.
Japanese Game Show
Last year's "I Survived a Cheap American Knock-off of a Japanese Game Show" was so much fun that we're doing it again... on the main stage!
New Events:
Japanese Street Fashion Show
Models will present the signature fashions of many Japanese subcultures. More information to come.
Camp Pokemon
Learn to be the very best at Camp Pokemon! More information on Camp Pokemon activities and how to sign up are coming soon.
Pool Party
Bring your swimsuits and intertubes! We'll provide the music. You can play in the pool, hang out in the hot tub, or play video games in the hotel's free arcade. It's a simple, relaxing event to help you wind down.
and more to come!
