Asheville Anime Regional Convention 2020
Founded in 2013, Asheville Anime Regional Convention (AARC) is WNC’s Anime, Manga, and Video Game inspired convention based out of Asheville, NC. AARC is a fan-operated event dedicated to spreading awareness and appreciation for all fandoms, with primary focus remaining on Japanese animation, manga, and culture.
In addition to providing a regional event for fans to gather and share common interests, AARC seeks to become a vehicle for sharing and disseminating industry information. Finally, AARC provides an outlet for the community and related industries to network and conduct business.
Join us the last weekend in June at the US Celluar Center in downtown Asheville for the next edition of AARC! We’re going back to our roots as a one day con. Be on the lookout for guest announcements, tournament details, and more.
The link for tickets will be added once the US Cellular Center site is updated.
