The Anime Market, our gathering of Vendors and Crafters of all kinds who have joined together to bring all types of anime merchandise to Maryville. Whether you're looking for Statues, Gachapon, Handmade Items, Fanart, Original Manga Authors, Random Trinkets and everything in-between, this is the place to get it.
This isn't Chuck-E-Cheese, but there's still prizes to be won! If you've never experienced Japan's Skill Cranes you're in for a treat. Choose your prize, and try your best to win it. Check out the Gachapon Wall, this time with a selection of 40 different machines. Or we've got rhythm games, all on free play! (Must sign a waiver to play VR or Dance games.)
The Foothills Mall has no official food court. There is one restaurant, and a few snack/sandwich stands. We're getting some food vendors locked in, stay tuned!
Our most popular activity returns! An activity booklet is required to play. Inside your activity booklet, there are pages for stamps. Visit participating vendors and sponsors to have them stamp your booklet. They may require participation in trade for the stamp. Collect all the stamps to win a prize!
We've got anime trivia we'll have more details, schedule and where to play closer to the event.
You need a lanyard to participate. You can buy one as well as some starting pins at the ACETN HQ or bring your own! All of our volunteers wearing lanyards have been supplied with pins to trade. Any of our volunteers will trade anything on their lanyard for any pin offered; look for 'Volunteer' on their shirt. Some vendors are participating as well and you can trade with other attendees. While our volunteers will trade anything on their lanyard without question, some vendors or your fellow attendees may not want the trade. Please be respectful of all participants.
Let's give it another go! but this time we'll keep the mall walkers in mind. Meet ups will be happening in the event room so they're out of the way and where we won't get chased off by anyone.
Register at the ACETN HQ room to enter the costume contest. You will have to be present at the time of judging to be eligible. There is no cost to enter. Some prizes are sponsored - in these cases the sponsor will be picking their favorite costume and awarding their prize. Please remember to check the Costume Rules before choosing your entry.
We've got many more events planned but don't like to announce things before all the details are worked out. Stick around or follow us on Instagram for more announcements.
