The first annual HizashiCon will take place in Pensacola, Florida on November 8 and 9, 2024! Hizashi (日差し), the Japanese word for sunshine, evokes the warmth of the sun’s rays, casting a luminous glow that illuminates the world. Pensacola — known for lush beaches, crashing waves, and an endless summer — embodies the feeling of Hizashi. At the heart of our convention lies engaging activities like cosplay contests, Japanese pop performances, and fan panel discussions with guests, including voice actors and media figures. Moreover, educational exhibits and panels led by local scholars will deepen attendees’ appreciation of Japanese culture. The convention will also feature a maid café, immersing attendees in one of Shinjuku’s most unique experiences.
HizashiCon is Pensacola’s dedicated anime convention, offering a family-friendly environment to celebrate Japanese animation and culture. Organized by the Japan-America Society of Northwest Florida.
