About the Show…
SacAnime is the show where “Fans Come to Play”. Our philosophy has always been to provide fun, safe, family friendly entertainment at a reasonable price.
SacAnime began as an extension of our quarterly Comic, Toy and Anime Show (SAC-CON), which has been running in Sacramento since July 1, 1986.
Originally a strictly comic book show, SAC-CON has grown to encompass all forms of pop-culture entertainment, with a large emphasis on anime & manga.
In 2004, the manager of Walden Books’ Sunrise Mall store approached us with the idea of organizing an anime show to be held at the Sunrise Mall. Always willing to jump into the deep end without knowing how to swim, we gave it a try. Thus, on the last weekend in July 2004, SacAnime was born.
In January 2005, we brought SacAnime to the Scottish Rite Center, home of SAC-CON. It was a great success, with over 1000 fans in attendance. The following July, we returned to the Sunrise Mall. It was also a success, however due to problems inherent with a mall environment, we decided to move SacAnime back to the Scottish Rite Center, where it stayed for several years.
In August, 2009, due SacAnime’s continued growth, we moved the show to the Radisson, which gave us more room for our special events. If the show continues to grow, who knows where we’ll end up.
