Only 5 days until Erie Anime-Fest, and there will be a lot more than just one kind of thing waiting for you inside the vendor and artist areas.

Expect to find tables packed with anime figures, manga, TCG, plush, apparel, accessories, collectibles, and merch from all kinds of different series. Some vendors may have newer releases, while others will be bringing older items and harder-to-find pieces, so it is worth taking your time and looking through everything.

The local artists add a completely different side to the show. Look for original artwork, prints, stickers, sketches, handmade crafts, 3D prints, and other creations you are not going to see sitting on a regular store shelf.

And when you need a break from shopping, there is still plenty happening around the rest of Anime-Fest. Catero Colbert, and Tiffany Grant will be meeting fans throughout the day, panels and guest Q&As are on the schedule, and cosplay will be everywhere leading up to the 4pm contest.

Erie Anime-Fest takes place this Saturday, October 10, 2026 from 10am-5pm at the Ambassador Center, 7794 Peach Street in Erie, Pennsylvania. Free parking is available, and tickets can be bought at the door all day.
