Welcome to THE LAST PARTY ON EARTH! One of the largest and longest-running anime conventions on the Gulf Coast, MechaCon returns to the Hilton New Orleans Riverside, bringing you three floors of jampacked anime convention excitement! But is this the end? Is this truly the last party? Wait... what?! Is this the LAST MechaCon?! What the heck is “Crescendo”?! Those are the burning questions on everyone’s minds. To find out the answers, be sure to come to Opening Ceremonies at 4pm on Friday in Main Events, an event which is now open to ALL attendees with MechaCon 2016 badges. Also, be sure to check out all the great content MechaCon is bringing to you this year! In the mood for a fancy-pants dance? Our “Steven Universe” themed MechaCon Red Carpet Affair: “Crystal Ball” may be just what you are looking for! Looking for something a little less formal and more electrified? Then be sure to check out our concert on Saturday night, featuring KAZHA, followed by our annual MechaCon House Party! For the older crowd, MechaCon: After Dark returns! This is a series of events geared less to the “PG-13” crowd and more to the “R” crowd, including our very own Cosplay Burlesque and the ever-popular TMI with Queen D and Friends. MechaCon’s staff will also be hosting a “salty” late-night Cards Against Humanity game/panel, which will show you why it holds the title of “the game for horrible people.” You must be 18 or older to attend most MechaCon: After Dark panels and events. For these 18+ panels and events, IDs will be required and checked at the door. Looking for something a little more relaxed, light-hearted and innocent? MechaCon’s own MechaMaid Clubhouse is an interactive family-friendly attraction that will spoil you with pleasantness. Into Lolita and J-fashion? MechaCon has a Lolita and J-Fashion show on Saturday, along with the sold-out Something Wicked This Way Comes Lolita Tea Party on Sunday! Also on Saturday, our annual Cosplay Competition is back with another $1000 cash prize for best-in-show! On Sunday, Cosplay Chess returns, along with our Charity Auction benefitting St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital, which raised over $17,000 last year! With all this and much, much more to see and do, we’re sure your weekend will be unforgettable. So come along with us and let’s make this LAST PARTY ON EARTH a weekend to remember!
