About the Registration Process
Everyone who attends must register online and agree to our terms. Please follow the rules, respect the park, and be good to each other.
There are various ways to get involved further… from hosting an artist booth or running a food truck, to performing a show or running an interactive panel. Scroll through this page to find your calling.
Attendees, Participants and Volunteers
You are warmly invited to come out and have fun!
Attendees
Come out and have a good time with us! Your eyes and ears empower all the creators who want to share their work. Dance, play, listen to panels, buy artwork, meet people, and have fun. This role is just as important as the others. There’s something magical about a group of people all holding a vibe that’s based on kindness, acceptance, and joy. Be a part of that and join as an attendee.
Participants
Take attendance to the next level with interactive panels and shows. Sign up for events and activities ahead of time if you want to participate. Performances like karaoke, lip syncing, idol showcases, talent shows, fitness classes and more require registration, as well as cosplay contests, trivia shows, gaming tournaments, and many other interactive moments of fun. Each event has different things to do, so be sure to check out the Participant Registration page to see what’s available!
Volunteers
Take your attendance to the ultimate level by becoming a core part of the event’s structure. Volunteering is a great way to meet new people, and to support our events. Accepted volunteers will receive free entry.
Artists, Vendors and Promo Booths
Are you an artist who wants to showcase and sell their work?
Are you a vendor looking to offer your wares to a niche market?
What’s the difference between an Artist and a Vendor?
Both artists and vendors are technically “vendors” in the sense that they have a booth space in which they sell merchandise. The difference boils down to how much of that merchandise they were personally responsible for creating.
Artists are defined as “vendors” who create 80% or more of what they sell. This could include keychains, stickers and prints of things they’ve personally drawn or created, either by themselves or as a group.
Vendors sell mostly resale items, such as things you can find online and in major retail stores, such as mass-produced and licensed items.
If you’re not sure what to register as, just ask! We will always give you the best rate for what’s fair. Typically we charge less for vendors who qualify as Artists, because it’s our way of promoting small local growth. The big conglomerate corporations get enough of our money and time as it is. AITP favors artists, and art comes in many forms!
Read our Artist and Vendor Survival Guide for more information on becoming an exhibitor at Anime in the Park. You will need to bring your own tent and supplies.
We also hold space for non-profits and other conventions to set up promotional booths. These spaces are often heavily discounted or free, but sales are not allowed.
