K-POP X ANIME FEST 2026, the inaugural event from Natharia Events, took place May 23–24, 2026 and celebrated the latest trends in K‑pop and anime. What began as a simple idea — to create a safe, fun, and community-driven gathering — came to life as a welcoming space for fans, cosplayers, performers, artists, and small businesses.
Natharia Events Vision
Rooted in fandom. We built this event as fans for fans, focused on authenticity and passion. Our aim is to grow the local fandom community while staying true to why we started: a love for anime, cosplay, music, art, and fandom culture.
What We Offered
A welcoming atmosphere for self-expression and new friendships.
Interactive programming including performances, panels, and showcases.
Opportunities for creators — exhibitors, artists, and performers shared their work and connected with fans.
A curated, chill vibe that prioritized fun over competition.
Community Gratitude
Day 1 brought some unexpected challenges, but the community response was overwhelmingly supportive and heartwarming. Thank you to everyone who stayed, volunteered, performed, exhibited, and cheered us on — your energy made the weekend special.
Attendance and Impact
We welcomed approximately 400 attendees across the weekend. This milestone confirms there’s strong local interest and momentum for future events.
What’s Next:
his is just the beginning. We’re excited to expand programming, deepen collaborations with creators and small businesses, and bring even bigger, more memorable experiences to the community. Stay tuned for announcements and ways to get involved.
