About Tsukicon

Tsukicon is Dayton’s own anime convention inspired by the spirit of Tsukimi. Held October 16–18, 2026, Tsukicon blends a traditional anime convention experience with the feel of a seasonal festival. Featuring artist alley, cosplay showcases, panels, Itasha car displays, and outdoor performances. Day programming takes place at the newly renovated Dayton Convention Center, while nighttime energy shifts to Levitt Pavilion for live music and performance under the sky. Created by the team behind IZAKAYA and ISEKAIYA, Tsukicon is built with love, for the community that calls this city home. It’s a place to gather, to celebrate, and to feel seen... together, under the moonlight.
