The theme for HotaruCon 3 is: 3 Ring Circus. Are you ready for the show?

There's always something to do and someone new to meet at HotaruCon.  Whether you're a convention veteran or new to the community and you want to know more check out the About the Event page.  Check back or join our mailing list for more details as they are announced!

To attend HotaruCon you'll need to have registered for a ticket. Your ticket covers the full three days of the event. Included in your ticket are a personalised members badge (you'll need to think of a 15 character name for yourself), lanyard, events schedule and conbag.

We're invested in showcasing all the talent and creativity the anime and manga fandom has to offer, whether you want to host a panel, sell your creations or perform on stage. All of which is included in the price of your ticket and there's even opportunities to add to your lanyard collection of collectible badges for participating in certain convention events, can you collect them all?
