Leopaul's Blog: At the Sakura-Con 2023

Every Easter, Washingtonians across Seattle gather around for Sakura-Con, Seattle's biggest annual celebration for anime, gaming, manga, and Asian culture.

For the 2023 outing held from the 7th to the 9th of April, Sakura-Con is bigger than ever because it was held not one but two Seattle Convention Center buildings; the Arch building and the brand-new Summit building. Most of the industry-level panels were held at the Summit building as well as the registrations, fan panels, shops, and more.

Although most of the big ones were held at the Summit building, stuff like arcades and games for convention visitors are still in the old Arch building, which was formerly known as the Washington State Convention Center.

Because the 2023 outing was held at two separate buildings, this convention has reached AX level and you can expect the same thing for next year's convention.

Anyway, I've managed to take some snaps during the whole convention weekend. Have a look!
