What is Akumakon?

Akumakon is one of the longest running Anime and Manga conventions in Ireland. Held over a weekend, and run by students of The University of Galway, it is a non-profit convention with many events used to raise money for charity. Over two thousand people attended Akumakon 2023, making the convention one of the largest of its kind in Ireland. Ran every year (except 2021 and 2022 those don't count) since 2010, Akumakon 2024 will be our eleventh event, and we're hoping to make it bigger and better than ever.

When is Akumakon 2024?

Akumakon 2024 will take place over the weekend of February 9th to the 11th. Our doors will open at 17:00 on Friday, and will close at 19:00 on Sunday.

Where does Akumakon take place?

Every year, Akumakon takes place on the campus of University of Galway (formally NUI Galway), in Áras Na Mac Léinn.
