A New Asian Horror/Anime Convention Coming To Baltimore, MD!
it's definitely not just another convention...
KurayamiCon is an immersive convergence of Asian Horror, The Occult, and their global influence in pop-culture. This includes elements of anime, movies, comics, fantasy, sci-fi, video games, music and literature that lean towards (or are rooted in) darker or supernatural tones and concepts.
It's also a love letter to Baltimore's unparalleled creativity, gothic roots, and forgotten impact in the ever expanding anime convention community.
We strive to craft an unforgettable event that honors the eclectic, the eccentric, and the unapologetically unique. Our team is also committed to fostering a sense of community among our attendees, performers, and vendors where self-expression and inclusivity are paramount.
