A Halloween Edition of a Running Series

Aki Fest's Halloween-themed edition takes place in Yerevan, Armenia, on Saturday, October 31, 2026, from noon to 6 p.m. According to the event's own site, this is the first edition built around Halloween, following six previous Aki Fest editions held on other dates.

A Mix of Fandoms

The event's own description spans anime, K-pop, cosplay, video games, dance, music, a market, and art — a deliberately broad mix rather than an anime-only convention. Planned activities include guest talks, autograph sessions, a cosplay contest, an artist alley, and workshops.

A Smaller, Regional Gathering

Aki Fest does not describe itself as the largest event of its kind in Armenia or the region, and this article makes no such claim either. It's presented here as one dated, confirmed gathering for fans in the area, not a claim about scale.

What To Know

This gives fans in the Caucasus region and anyone tracking the spread of anime/K-pop fandom culture a concrete, dated event to know about, in a city not often covered by international fan-culture media.

Yerevan, Armenia — not a Japan-based event, but part of TBM's coverage of how Japanese pop culture (anime) mixes with other fandoms (K-pop, gaming) in local fan communities worldwide; this is Aki Fest's seventh overall edition and its first built around Halloween.
