Victoria's Anime Convention Tsukino Con will be returning Feb 20th to 22nd 2026, at The University Of Victoria. Tickets are on sale now at: tsukinocon.com/register

We had 10 pre-registered entires for the #cosplay showcase at @tsukinocon.com and 4 more sign-ups at the door! Absolutely fantastic for our small 1-day convention. If any of you see this, thanks for giving this slightly re-worked summer variant of the contest a chance! You all were great! 🩵

I feel bad that I haven’t been around stream much lately, but summer’s always been a busy time for me. That being said…I’ve whipped together some goodie bags for the Cosplay Showcase contestants at @tsukinocon.com this weekend! It’s not part of the budget, I just wanted to do something extra.

Prepare to be spirited away at our Yokai Dance! 🏮7pm - 8pm wander in and get your drink at either our Mocktail Bar or 19+ patio. The playlist is in your hands! 🏮8pm- 9pm move to our curated AMV list. 🏮9pm-10pm DJ Bishi kicks off the end of the night before our Procession of the Yokai.
