AnimeCon calls itself the longest running anime convention in the Netherlands, and the 2027 edition, themed Into The Wild, runs over three days at De Broodfabriek in Rijswijk, next door to The Hague. Expect vendor halls, cosplay competitions, arcade and console gaming, live concerts, martial arts workshops and Japanese food and sake tastings.
The late opening hours are a highlight: Friday and Saturday run until 02:00, so it feels more like a festival than a trade show.
- When: Friday 16 April 2027, 14:00 to 02:00; Saturday 17 April, 10:00 to 02:00; Sunday 18 April, 10:00 to 20:00
- Where: De Broodfabriek Expo, Volmerlaan 12, Rijswijk
- Tickets: Early bird adult prices: Friday €30, Saturday €46, Sunday €34, three day pass €72. Children 7 to 12 about half price, under 6 free
- Getting there: Train to Rijswijk station; De Broodfabriek is a short walk away
Good to know: Early bird prices will not last, so book early if you are sure you are going.
