Welcome & Closing Ceremonies

Welcome Ceremony (Day 1)

After waiting an entire year for Anime Expo, our hosts reunite with attendees to introduce guests, present exclusive music performances, and give a taste of the interactive experiences you can only get at Anime Expo. Our hosts will take attendees behind-the-scenes, sharing a variety of stories highlighting the many AX experiences.

Previous Welcome Ceremonies have featured performances from MIREI, ASTERISM, and ZERO-UCHI Restart.

Closing Ceremony (Day 4)

After an exhausting weekend of running around the con, the Closing Ceremony is the very last event at Anime Expo. It's a heartwarming, yet bittersweet time, where we breathe a collective sigh of relief that AX is over and we can go home and rest, but then we have to make our final goodbyes and wait a whole year for AX to return.
