Ratings
The Sakura-Con ratings system provides an informal unified guide to age ratings for both live events and video programming.
Contests
Each year Sakura-con hosts a variety of contests. We accept a wide range of participants, from first time artists to professionals, as long as you're a registered member.
Panels
In its humble beginning, Sakura-Con was a small group of fans coming together to share ideas in a local anime store. Fan panels continue the tradition of making friends and cover a wide range of topics.
Black Tie Ball
Come and enjoy Sakura-con's yearly Black Tie ball! Put on your fanciest finery, don your most ornate mask, and waltz the night away in the most blissfully antiquated way. To keep the mood, we will enforce formal garb and a facial covering.
Don't miss the perfect excuse to make use of your best dress!
