Arizona's Anime Convention

Taiyou Con is an intense 3 day anime convention experience at the Mesa Convention Center! We are celebrating all things Japanese culture – anime, cosplay, video games, shopping, special guests and much more with over 300 hours of interactive activities just for YOU.

We provide an immersive environment for passionate anime fans and cosplayers. When you’re here, anime is life! Our 16 years of experience in running conventions makes sure that you have the most anime immersive weekend of the year with your friends.

Your favorite voice actor, artist, or cosplay extraordinaire come to life. This isn’t just an anime event with a vendor hall and some guest signings… it’s an anime convention experience.
