PopCult Anime Con will be returning to Waltham, MA two weeks from now. However, this year's PCAC will be the last one.

On May 9th, it was announced that, due to declining attendance and being unable to afford to continue keeping the convention happening every year, 2025 will be their final year.

PCAC began in 2016 when they were based in Framingham, MA. The con moved to our home city in 2022 where it has taken place ever since. PCAC has focused on being a fully fan-supported event, a smaller, more affordable, more chill, and less-overwhelming alternative to larger cons like Anime Boston. We have happily welcomed this convention's arrival to our home city and enjoyed being there every time we went. We have met some great people, saw really cool cosplayers, saw great shows and panels, and generated some amazing memories from being at Popcult, memories we'll always have with us.

As PCAC prepares to make their last con the best one it can be, we'll make our final visit a great one. I was really glad I was able to help promote the con at Anthro New England earlier this year as I wanted to help promote it in any way that can. This will be the last opportunity to go to PCAC before it discontinues, so I encourage you to, if you can, experience this special gem of an event.

I know that we will all miss Popcult Anime Con once it's over. However, we will make this final year of this convention another treasured part of our lives, just like in previous years. I personally would like to thank the staff, volunteers, and everyone else who have made Popcult so great and look forward to one last weekend of this amazing event.



See you in two weeks, PopCult Anime Con!
