Overview
Anime in the Park is an annual outdoor anime convention.

Cosplay strongly encouraged!
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. Explore the city we build for a day. Be a part of something real, and bring your best forms of creativity.
Check the full schedule a couple weeks before the day of show.
