⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
AniFest is my favorite day-long con so far: great list of guests and events. I love how AniFest collaborates with Arcane Maid Cafe for great food/service and open kareoke stage. Staffs are also very kind and supportive with helping attendants. I am looking forward to enjoy 2024 AniFest 😀

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
The checkout experience is very good; not problems at all. Now, this is my 1st Anime Con event so I don’t know what to expect, but I hope the experience is one of the best ones. My main reason for going is to take photographs of cosplayers; I’m working on a project for my photography class in school 😅.

I’m excited to experience many performances all day for only $19! Thank you for having super cool food trucks present as well– con food can be a pain, usually
