Event Details
Join us for our third annual Anime in the Park at Lake David Park in Groveland, Florida.
This year, we’re expanding into the night with stargazing activities brought to you by two local astronomy groups: the Central Florida Astronomical Society and Astronomy on Tap.
The amphitheater will come to life with a full day of vibrant showcases and performances, surrounded by a marketplace of local artists and community booths.
Our events are built for all ages. We invite everyone to join in our celebration of creativity, joy, and self-expression.
To keep our events safe, drugs and alcohol are not permitted. We ask that all attendees follow the three guiding principles of Anime in the Park: Leave No Trace, Self-Reliance, and Teamwork.
Pack a camping chair and water bottle, and make yourself at home. Read our Attendee Survival Guide for tips on having the best time possible. Cosplay strongly encouraged!
Ticketing
Early bird tickets available beginning on September 1st through our secure platform:
This event is 100% funded by our community. We have no corporate sponsors, and no deep pockets. The costs of running this event have increased significantly, so this year will be a ticketed event. Ticket prices directly fund the venue, permitting, insurance, and safety requirements.
Free tickets will be provided to selected volunteers, panelists, and theme camp leads.
Showcases
Stars in the Park
