Anime fandoms and cosplay communities continue to shape weekend conventions that mix retail, live shows and participatory formats. HiroCon 2026 runs on October 3 and 4 at E-Werk Saarbrücken and aims at hands-on engagement across its themed areas.
Dates and venue for HiroCon 2026
HiroCon 2026 takes place on October 3 and 4, 2026 at E-Werk Saarbrücken. Ticketing starts from 16 euros. The venue blends industrial character with outdoor space and provides good connections by bus, train and car plus generous parking and outdoor areas for food trucks and open-air activities.
Event areas and structure
The convention is organized into clear zones. Community and Cosplay host the cosplay contest, fan tables and dedicated photo spots. Gaming and Entertainment covers trading card games, board games, video games, rhythm games and arcade setups. Shopping and Exhibition brings figures, manga, collectible items and cosplay supplies. Art and Crafting showcases prints, plushes and hand-sewn pieces. Outdoor and Streetfood offers ramen, onigiri and festival-style food next to a flea market.
Highlight program elements
The Hiro Stage features the cosplay contest, live acts and panels on Japanese pop culture. Interactive elements include quiz rounds via mobile and tournaments with creators and streamers. The Cosplay Café Luna serves Japanese sweets in a themed café run by cosplayers. Workshops and community-driven actions encourage attendee participation.
Practical tips for exhibitors
Size your inventory for impulse purchases and easy transport. Clear pricing and visible product variants reduce sales friction during busy program slots. Coordinate booth activities with stage schedules to avoid clashes with major draws. Partnering with local creators for live signings or demos can boost foot traffic without escalating booth costs.

Tickets are sold through the official site and there are options for single day or weekend access. E-Werk includes accessible indoor areas and a large outdoor compound that hosts the streetfood section and a second-hand market.
