Augusta Anime Fest hosts cosplayers, voice actors for celebration of the Japanese genre
AUGUSTA, Ga. (WRDW/WAGT) – Anime fest was in town on Saturday, and people showed up for a good time.
People were able to go to the Columbia County Exhibition Center to celebrate the Japanese genre.
There were voice actors, cosplayers and even a lip sync contest.
We spoke to one of the organizers about what makes the festival so popular.
“We’ve kind of narrowed it down to where the anime fests are. The kids love them and the people love them, so they come out to them,” said David Hess, show manager, Augusta Anime Fest.
Over 85 vendors were at the festival.
