Come as you are
Cosplay is welcome but never required. Plenty of folks come in a T-shirt and have just as good a time.

Welcome back, otaku
Two days of anime, gaming, and Japanese pop culture in the heart of Tuscaloosa.
Druid City Anime Festival returns to Tuscaloosa for its second year — two days of cosplay, gaming, K-Pop, artist alley, and everything we love about anime and Japanese pop culture. It’s a hometown show: local artists, local players, local cosplayers, all under one roof at One Up TCG.

Meet the Mascot
Meet our winged mascot! He’s going to need a makeover before year three, so be sure to write down your theme ideas at the con and leave them at the front desk for a chance to be voted for on social media in the week following the con!
