Okashicon - 2025!

Hey everyone, we’re back for Year Two! Okashicon is returning to San Japan in 2025! 🎉

We’re so excited to bring another year of J-Fashion magic to San Japan! Expect even more fabulous programming: Designer Showcases, Make & Take workshops, the Fashion Show, and our signature J-Fashion Mixer/Tea Party! ☕✨

Wait, so did San Japan take over Okashicon?
Not at all! Okashicon is still independently run as a non-profit. We’re proud to continue hosting pop-up tea parties, markets, fundraisers, and community workshops throughout Texas.

Will there be a standalone Okashicon event this year?
Nope, not this year. We’ve chosen to focus all our efforts on making Okashicon at San Japan the best experience it can be. With the rising costs of hosting in Austin, combining forces with San Japan allows us to keep bringing you the fashion-focused content you love, just on a bigger stage.

So how do you attend?
Simple! Just grab a San Japan badge, and you’ll get access to all the Okashicon programming included!

Thanks for supporting us on this wild and stylish journey. We can’t wait to see you again in San Antonio, Texas! 💖

``Definitely a unique, fun experience I haven't experienced at any other convention. I really enjoyed that a real Japanese-pop culture experience could be brought closer to home.`` ~Sephi Hakubi

``This was a fun experience!!! The people that run this convention genuinely care about the attendees. After I did my panel on how to cope with anxiety at conventions one of the convention organizers pulled me aside to ask how to implement and better help people with anxiety. If you're looking for a con that actually cares and is centered around the experience of the attendees, Okashicon is your place``

``Last year was my first year at Okashicon as an artist, but I'll definitely be back! The atmosphere was fun and positive. The volunteers checked up on us often to make sure we had everything we needed. After working my table for the day, I had the best time hanging out in the game room and maid cafe. There's really something for everyone at Okashicon!``
