Anime Expo 2026
Thursday 2nd July, 2026
Anime Expo 2026 is North America’s largest annual celebration of Japanese animation, manga and related pop culture, returning as a four-day public convention in downtown Los Angeles with panels, concerts, an exhibit hall and large cosplay gatherings. This matters for Airbnb because it will drive high short-term demand for nearby stays and unique fan group bookings in Los Angeles, giving you a chance to talk about hosting tips, local guest experiences and safety for fans and hosts in the US market.
Why have we flagged this?
Strong fit — Anime Expo will drive concentrated short-term demand in Los Angeles and offers clear proactive and reactive PR angles: tips for hosts, guides for guests, safety and neighbourhood impact data, plus storytelling around unique fan stays and group bookings.
